    There are many old sayings which people have:-
    Sean fhocal is deacair é a shárugadh
    Fághann na ba bás fhad is bhíonn an féar ag fás
    Nuair a stópas an síol stopas an fuirreadh

    Sean fhocal é:-
    Is deacair olann a fhághail i dteach gabhar
    Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na sgolb
    Coinbuigh lorg na gcrúdh agus ná téigh treasnuigh
    Rud a sgriobhas an púca tá sé indon é a léigheadh
    Fághann ciartóg - ciarthóg eile amach
    Is olc an ghaoth é nó deanfaidh sé maith do dhuine eicinnt
    Bíonn blas searbh ar an fhirinne
    Biseach an Domhnach ní raibh ariamh go maith
    Níl olc ná maith i leigheas an Domnuigh
    An tá saor caithfidh sé cloch
    Is goire cabhair Dé ná an doras
    Is fearr foighid ná phortún
