    Sean Focail are wise sayings which the old people have.
    Seo cuid aca:-
    Fál in dhiaidh na folmhughadh
    An rud nach goidtear faightear
    Is fearr stuam na neart
    Is lugha ná frida mháthair an droch-ádh
    Is fussa dul don baile mhór ná é fhágáil
    Is fearr an mada leat ná i do aghaidh

    Beannuigh gach droch-dhuine act scaoil an deagh-dhuine thart

    An té atá ainm na moch-eirgeacht aige is feidir leis codlad go meadhon lae

    It is seldom but one survives the fight
    Is droch é an stoirm nach fearrda duine eicint é
    Green are the hill far away
    Ní h-iad na fir mhora a bhaineas an Fóghmhar ar fhad

    An té a léigheas an leabhar mar gcuireann sé in a mheabhair má chailleann sé an leabhair

    Bionn sé in a bhall-odhar
    Is fearr droch phosta ná a beith gan aon phosta (?)
    Ní hí lá na gaoithe lá na sgolb
