    Is goire Cabhair Dé ná an doras!
    Is fearr go mall ná go deo!
    Aithnigheann ciaróg ciaróg eile!

    Sgéal ghá innsint go capall agus an capall ag dul le cos i n-áirde!

    Bíonn ádh ar straoiliocht!
    Ní rún sgeal agus fios ag triúr é
    Arán cam ghníos bolg díreach!
    Píosa dé'n muc an t-iorball
    Is gioblach í an cearc no go dtógfaidh sí a h-ál
    Is olc an cearc a shaluigheanns a nead fhéin

    An áit in a mbíonn na cearca is maith leis an choileach a bheith

    Is dána muc ná gabhair acht saróchadh bean diabhal
    Ní hí an breághacht a chuireanns an pota ag fiuchadh
    Ní maith sgeal gan ugdar!
    Cuireann gach duine splannc in a dúidín feín
    Buail ar an iarann nuair a bíonn sé te
    Níl amadán ar bith gan a chiall féin
    Cuairt geárr sé is feárr!
    Bíonn onóir ar minic nach dtig!
    Troid na mbó maoile!
    Ní maith sagart gan cléireach
