Marry in harvest and you'll be always busy, always gathering, and never having anything.
Like a church mouse - bare and busy.
The devil you know is better than the devil you dont know.
A nod from a lord is breakfast for a fool.

A Connachtman has leave to speak twice (and three times if he stutters)
The pot calling the kettle black.
Friends meet but the hills never.
Dont halloo till you're out of the wood.
What you never had you never lost.
A wrinkled purse makes a wrinkled face.
A wise man changes something, a fool never.
A man of words and not of deeds Is like a garden full of weeds.(continues on next page)
