  1. (continued from previous page)
    Constant dropping wears a stone.
    United we stand divided we fall.
    When things are at their worst, they begin to mend.
    John McCabe,
    Lisnafana,
    Virginia,
    Co. Cavan.

  2. A shut mouth catches no flies.
    The nearer the church the far-der from God.
    When wine is in sence is out
    A new brush sweeps clean
    When you buy beef you buy bones.
    When you buy land you buy stones.
    A good wife never grumbles
    Never venture never win.
