- Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Two heads are better than one, even if they were only sheep's heads.
It is a long road that has no turning.
Get the name of an early riser, and you can sleep until dinner time.
Necessity does everything well.
Truth is stronger than fiction.
God helps them who help themselves.
Look before you leap.
Its an ill wind blows no one any good.
I'm no man's man, I'm Ireland's man.
You can foot all the world some of the time, and some of the world all the time, but you cannot foot all the world all the time.
Hunger is good sauce.
He that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing.
Make hay while the sun shines.(continues on next page)
