    Is beag orm é
    When a person is always telling lies

    Is olc an gaoth nach shéideann do dhuine éigean
    Is said when something good happens to a person

    Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí
    Praise the young and they will do anything.

    Is fearr an tslainte ná an saibhreas
    It is said when a poor man has his health and a rich man has not.

    Tá an scéal dul sa mhuilean ort
    When a person tells a story in a muddle way.
