    The younger the chicken the sweeter the picking .
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    It takes two to make a row.
    The longest way round is the shortest way home.
    two heads are better than one.
    Great minds think alike.
    Running with the hare and hunting with the hound.
    Praise the fool as you meet him
    Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves.
    If you want to know one go and live with him.
    Health is better than wealth.
    As hard as the hob of hell.(When a seat is uncomfortable this is said).
    As ignorant as a Kish of brogues.
    An idle mind is the devil's playground.
    After a storm comes a calm.
