    Cadh a dhéanfaifh mach an cait ach luch a mharbhú.
    Dont throw out the dirty water till the clean water comes in.
    A stitch in time saves nine
    Many hands make light work.
    Too much cooks spoil the brothe
    Dont count the chickens till they come out.
    Never put off till to-morrow what you can do today.
    More haste less speed.
    Look before you leap.
    Make the hay while the sun shines.
    Empty vessels make the most noise.
