    Is fearr duine a leagann ná beirt a tógháil.
    Níl tuile dá mheid nach dthráigheann dá réir, ach tuile ná nGrást
    Tá an aoine i nagaidh na seachtaine
    Níl luibh na leigheas i naghaidh an bháis
    Níl Satharn sa mblaidhain nach sgairteann an Ghrian.
    Ní féidir le duine a bheith a feadaoil is ag ithe mine
    Is fada ó'n stuaim an stocaireacht
    Is fearr stuaim na neart
    Tá súil ó bheal an chuain ach níl ó bheal na h-Uaige
    Dá fhad an lá tagann an oidhche
    Níl blát ar bith mar blát na h-óige
    Níl teinteán ar bith, mar do teinteán feín.
    Is maith an t-iomanaidhe an te a bhios ar an gclaidhe
