  1. Béaloideas - Old Sayings

    Share Share Post
    True glory lies in noble deeds
    Burn the candle burn the inch
    First in first served
    You’ll never miss the water to the well goes dry
    Live old horse and you’ll get oats
    Fool rush in where Angls [sic] fear to tread
    Saying and doing are two different things.
    He who slings mud loses ground
