    Fághann na ba bás an fhad bhios an féar ag fás
    Is deacair an sean fhocal a sáthruigh
    Is feárr marcaideacht ar gabhar ná coisideacht dá fheabhas
    Mar a gcuirfe tú sa n-Earrach ní bhainfe tú sa bFóghmhar
    Más cám direac an bóthar sé tslighe mhór an aithgiorra é.
    Ceannuigh an droc is bhí gan aon rud.
    Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na sgolb.
    Is féidir leat an capall tabhairt ag an uisge acht ní féidir lead cur faoi'n dearna dhó é ól.
    Chuile fhear dó féin agus Dia dhuinn ar fad.
    Is furast fuint i n-aice na mine.
