Seanfhocail

Blood is thicker than water.
Don’t count your chickens until they ˆhatched.
Ná cuir do ghnó ar do mhéar fhada.
You cannot knock blood out of a turnip.

Put a beggar on horseback and he’ll ride to the devil.
Briseann an dúthchas trí shúilibh an chait.
Do not put your work on the long finger.
A shut fist catches no hawk.

What can you expect from a pig but a grunt.
Beg from a beggar and you’ll never get rich.
