- I have a lot of old sayings which I heard my father and mother saying such as blood is thicker nor water,
Hills are green far away,
Smooth water's run deep and when stirred is very dirty at the bottom, Cow's in Connaught wear long horns, all the dirt comes out in the washing, you cant make a silk purse out of a pigs ear, a shut mouth catches no flies, Never count your chickens before they are hatched,
Fair and easy goes far in the day.
