    Proverbs from Mrs. Monahan
    Corbetstown, Castlejordan,
    Edenderry
    She is aged 60 - makes the ointment for cure of burn.
    "The full pig in the sty never thinks
    of the empty one going by"
    "A life of pleasure is the most
    unpleasant life in the world"
    "Laugh and the world laughs with you
    weep and you weep alone"
    "Feast and your halls are crowded
    fast and the world goes by"
    You can fool all the world some of
    the time, and some of the world all
    the time, but you cannot fool
    all the world all the time
    I stood by its cradle and followed
    its hearse.
