A tune is more lasting than the song of the birds, And a word more lasting than the wealth of the world. |
A turkey never voted for an early Christmas. |
A tyrone woman will never buy a rabbit without a head for fear its a cat. |
A wild goose never reared a tame gosling. |
A windy day is not the day for thatching. |
A wren in the hand is better than a crane to be caught. |
Age is honourable and youth is noble. |
An eye is blind in another man's corner. |
An old broom knows the dirty corners best. |
and you have not built a wall unless you have rounded a corner. |
Be neither intimate nor distant with the clergy. |
Better be quarrelling than lonesome. |
Better own a trifle than want a great deal. |
Better the certainty of the straddle (packsaddle) than the mere loan of a saddle. |
Bulls get rich, bears get rich, but pigs get slaughtered An Irishman is never at his best except when fighting. |
