- In all districts in Ireland proverbs are used and also saying Here are some used locally
If a person made a lovely sweet cake and the people who were at tea ate it real quick the woman of the house would say Fools make feasts and wise men cut them. Other are As long as the fox runs he is caught at last. This is said to a person who does a bad deed and is caught and punished. There is no stout as hard as a road a nod is as good as a wink to a blind man. A rolling stone gathers no money. A bird in your hand is worth two in a bush.
