  1. Proverbs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Wise head on little shoulders.
    No news is good news.
    Time is a good storyteller.
    A new broom sweeps clean.
    A full purse makes a light heart.
    There is no help or cure against death.
    The deed will praise itself.
    There are many other old proverbs which are spoken locally but they are similar to the proverbs in the English language as the Irish language died out in the village centuries before it did in the surrounding districts
