- If you burn him for fool you will have wise ashes.
Every spring's mornig has a black head.
If you want to know me come and live with me.
He is as cute Galloglaig, or Galloghlaig wouldn't match him.
The man that laughs last laughs the longest.
Too many cooks spoil a pudding.
The day of the wind is not the day of scallops
A fool makes many but an old fool is worse than any.
A borrowed horse wants hard hoofs.
An old thief is a good tracker
He who hides finds.
There's no fool like an old fool.
The longest day has an end.
It's a long lane that has no turning.

If the cap fits you wear it(continues on next page)
