  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Is binn binn beal na thost.
    Is maith an t-ionlan an t-ocras.
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
    The tree remains but not so that hand that put it.
    The grass harrow gathers no stones.
    Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
    A well is never missed until it is dry.
    A burnt child dreads the fire.
    A kind face is a beautiful face.
    Waste not, want not.
    The early bird catches the early worm.
    Theres luck in leisure.
    A person knows where the boot hurts.
