- A person's mouth often broke his nose.
The person who does not sow in Spring will not reap in Autumn.
There are long horns on the cows in Connaught
Far away hills are green.
It is like throwing apples into an orchard.
Health is better than wealth.
Half an hour too soon is better that half a minute too late.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
There are good goods in small parcels.
It is a poor house cannot support one lady.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
He got the cold shoulder.
His father was born before him.
He who laughs best laughs last.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Honesty is the best policy.
