    Proverbs
    Truth is tough it cannot break like a bubble
    You cant catch a weasel asleep
    You are time enough bidding the devil Good-morrow when you need him
    Don't shout till you are out of the wood
    Don't crow too high till first you try
    Have it of your own or do without it
    Ther's good goods in small parsels
    Better to be a poor fisherman than to be a leader of men
    Two shakes of a rat's tail.
    Bernard Niland
    Newbrook, Ballyglass.
    Got from Mrs Marget Niland, (53)
