- He who has a goose gets a goose.
A burnt child dreads the fire.
Kerry cows wear long horns far from home.
A watched pot never boils.
A windy day is not a suitable day for thatching.
Little that dirties white stockings.
It is a great pity to be without rest on Good Friday.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are.
It's a long road that has no turn.
You can't whistle and chew meat.
Wind from the east is not good for men or beast.
A new brush sweeps clean.
The truth never chocked a man.
A blind man is a bad judge of colours
A full purse makes a light heart
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Seek and you shall find.
It's hard to knock an old horse off his trot
One look before you is better than two.(continues on next page)
