  1. Folklore - Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    Some of the old sayings they had long ago:-
    Health is better than wealth
    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
    The master's eye, does more than his two hands
    Two hands are better than one
    Strike the iron while its hot
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Too late to spare when all is spent
    Its never too late to mend
    Small strokes fell great oaks
    A new brush sweeps clean, but an old one scrubs best
    Is breágh rud an óige,
    An áit na mbíonn bó, bíonn bean
