- Let the young people mind what the old people say but when danger is near to keep out of the way.
A good neighbour is better than a friend far away.
The best hurler is always on the fence
A stitch in time saves nine and a stitch too late is out of date
You will never miss the water until the well runs dry.
A word in court is better than a pound in a purse.
A bird in a hand is worth two in a bush
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
You cannot expect blood out of a turnip
He who by the plough will thrive,
Himself must either hold or driveEarly to bed, and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.Idle hands some mischief still
Will ever find to do.A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
Better late than never
