  1. (continued from previous page)
    Ní h-ionann dul go baile mór agus teacht as
    An té na bhíonn fhíos aige ní bhíonn leigheas aige
    Is trom í an chearch i bhfaidh
    Capall na h-oibhre is ead bíadh
    An té a bhíonn suas óltar deoch air, an té a bhíonn shíos, bualtar cos air
    Is glas iad na cnuich i bhfad uainn acht ní feurach
    Is maith Día go lá agus ní fearr ná go bráth
    Is fearr don lá a curfaidh sé dhe
    Ceannaigh an droch dhuine agus beidh an duine maith in do láimh agat
    Is fuiriste dul thar tighte gan madra

    There are may ways for killing a cat besides choking him with butter
    Early to bed, early to rise makes a man health, wealthy, and wise
    No morning's sun lasts the whole day
    Fair and easy gones far
    A half a loaf is better than no bread
    Fine feathers make fine birds
    Silks and satins often put out the kitchen fire
    To meet, to know, to love, to part, is the sad fate of every broken heart

    Ritheann uisce doimhin go ciuin
