    It is difficult to cut wool off a goat.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
    Don't be hard and don't be soft.
    The world would not make a race -horse of an ass.
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to -day.
    One to-day is worth two to-morrow.
    the longer you live the more you know.
    Dont be making "Seánín ó Shea" of yourself.
    A good beginning is half the work.
    Milk is better than tea.
    Cows over the sea have long horns.
    Don't look at all you see.
