  1. Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na sgolb
    Níl aon teintéan mar do theinteán féin
    Mair a chapaill agus geobhair féar
    Is goirre cabhair Dé ná an donas

    An rud a chuirtear san Earrac baintear san bhFóghmhar

    Is mairg alabarann go teann
    Is maith an t-iomainidhe an té abhíonn ar an gclaidhe
    Mo bhród féin agus capall duine eile

    A stitch in time saves nine
    As you sow, so shall you reap
    A rolling stone gathers no moss
    A rotten apple injures its companions
    A friend in need is a friend indeed

    A fool can make money, it requires a wise man to spend it

    A penny saved is a a penny earned
    Better late than never
    Be slow to promise and quick to perform
    Death keeps no calendar
    Fortune knocks once at every man's gate
    An hour in the morning is worth two in the afternoon
    Better go to bed supperless than rise in debt
    He that steals an egg will steal an ox
    It is never too late to learn
    One never loses by doing a good turn
    Many hands make light work
    Many a true word spoken in jest
