the world some of the time, but you cannot fool all the world all the time.
A slip of the tongue is no fault of the mind.
God’s help is nearer than the door.
Many a good tree grew on shallow ground.
Though long the fox runs he is caught at last.
The new broom sweeps clean.
As is the school-master so will be the school children.
A poor man lives honestly.
It is easier to say a thing than to do it.
Do not put all your eggs in one basket.
A blind man is no judge of colours.

Níl aon tinnteán mar do thinnteán féin.
Is fearr focal sa chúirt ná punt sa sparán.
Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na sgolb.
Fan a chapaill agus geobhadh tú féar.
