    Níor dhóigh an sean-chat é féin ariamh
    Is maith an t-annlann an t-ocras
    Is túisge deoch 'na sgéal

    Is fearr marcaidheacht ar ghabhar 'na coisidheacht d'á fheabhas

    Is fearr go mall na go bráth
    I ngan-fhios do'n dlighe is fearr a bheith ann
    Is é an duine é an t-éadach
    An té a bhíos ag magadh bíonn a leath faoi féin
    An té nach bhfuil láidir ní fuláir dhó a bheith glic
    Éist le fuaim na h-abhann agus gheobhair breach
    Bíonn ádh ar amadán
    Ná díol do chearc an lá fluich
    Is fearr stuaim na neart
    Is fearr cara sa gcúirt ná bonn sa sparán
    Bíonn adhairce fada ar na buaibh thar lear
    Muna n-ólfá acht uisge ní bhéitheá ar meisge
    Aithigheann ciaróg, ciaró eile
    Cuairt gearr sin is fearr
