    The man on the ditch is the best hurler.
    A stiitch in time saves nine.
    If a person is going to a fair and meets a red head woman you should turn back because you would have bad luck.
    A wise man always carries his coat on a fine day.
    Work is better than talk.
    Your pocket is your best friend.
    Beg from a beggar man and you will never be rich.
