    Itheann muc ciúin truisg.
    Is fearr suidhe gearr na seasamh fada.
    Fágann béal na h-uaighe áit ag béal na truaighe.
    Is goire cabhair Dé ná an doras.
    Cuid d'en mhuc an d-iorbhall.
    Is fearr duine ag leagan ná beirt ag tógáil.
    Is fearr an t-ádh ná eirghe go moch.
    Dá mbeadh Éire i bpáirt bheadh a leath ar lár.
    Is maith an capall a tharnuigheas a charr fhéin.
    Bíonn blas ar an mbeagán.
