   (continued from previous page)

   Empty barrels make most sound.
   Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.
   Its a long lame that has not a turn.
   A noble heart is like the sun.
   A good word never broke a tooth.
   Unity is strength.
   No rose without a thorn.
   LIttle children should be seen not heard.
   A burnt child dreads the fire.
   Handsome is as handsome does.
   Birds of a feather flock together.
   A good action is never lost.
   A fool and his money are soon parted.
   Every dog has his day.
   Age before beauty.
   Forced prayers are no devotion.
   What is the use of crying over spilt milk.
   Shut mouth catches no flies.
   Cows in Kerry have long horns.
   Hills are green far away.
   Look before you leap.
   He that hides finds.
   One good turn deserves another.
   Think twice before you speak once.
   Rome was not built in a day.
