- March 16th, 1938,As yellow as a duck's foot.
Enough is as good as a feast.
History repeats itself.
A stitch in time saves nine.
You can bring a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
The more hurry the least speed.
He that says least says best.
A wise man brings his coat on a fine day.
A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush.
Make hay while the sun shines.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
The ready way round is the shortest way home.
It is a bad wind that does not blow someone good.
It is a long lane that has not a turn.
A little help is worth a lot of pity.
Many hands make light work.Told to me by my father
Told to him by his mother:-
Mrs. Corley. Age 79.
Native of Athlone.
