Seanfhocail

Many hands make light work.
The more hurry the less speed.
Every dog is stiff at his own house.
Too much cooking spoils the soup.
As light as a feather.

Collected by: - Seamus Ó Diolúin, Dromoher
Told by :- Mrs Dillon, Dromoher (his grandmother)

Seanfhocail

A woman, a pig, and an alder tree, the more you beat them, the worse they will be.
Well begun is half done.
What ever you do, do it well.
If you laugh before breakfast you’ll cry before supper.
One good turn deserves another.
A bird in your hand is worth two in a bush.
Eist le fuaim na habhann, agus gheobhaidh tú an bhreac.

Collected by: - Máire Ní h-Allmhúráin, Knockanrowe.
Told by: - Martin Halloran, Knockanrowe, (her father)
