- (continued from previous page)The day of the wind is not the day of the scallop.
Beg from a beggar and you'll never be rich.
Borrowed horses have hard hooves.
Smooth waters run deep.
A sloe year a woe year.
A haw year gives a "braw" year
Long fair long foul.
If you knew the disease you would have the cure.
However long the night the day comes at last.
Leave it as it is and Dublin where it is - is often said at the end of an argument when there is no chance of agreement.
If you dont sow in spring you wont reap in Autumn.
The biggest was that ever was some-one came safe out of it.
Whats worth doing atall is worth doing well.
Where theres a will theres a way.
A mist on a hill is a bad mist
A mist on a river is a good mist
It is a small wind that wouldnt bend a blade of grass.
