- "Money makes the ware go" Money keeps the ball rolling
"A wet & windy May fills the barn with corn and hay
"Cast not a cloud till May is out"
"Not much meal in his seeds" (a mean man).
It is all ill wind that does not blow some one good.
"Never trust a July sky"
A patchy lake the weather will break
Like lanna ma chroibha's dog (goes a bit with everyone).
Cows have long horns in Connaught - Hills are green far away
If you want to know me - come & live with me.
Old meal is old gold
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Bigger craft may venture more smaller craft must keep near shore
Cut your cloth according to your measure.
Hand on hand makes a bad stone wall - soft on soft makes nothing at all
