    Is fearr caraidh san gcuirt ná púnt san sporán.
    Ní thagann caonach ar an gcloch reatha.
    Is fearr breathnughadh romhat ná dá bhreathnughadh in do dhiaidh.
    Is dána gach madadh i n-a dhoras féin.
    Níl tuile dá mhéadh nach dtrághan.
    Muna mbeidh agat acht pocaide gabhair bí i lár an aonaig leis.
    Más moch mall a éirigeas an ghrian is mar is tuill le Dia a bhíos an lá.
    Is fearr a bheith ag marcuigeacht ar ghabhar ná coisigeacht dhá fheabhas.
    Mara gcuirfhidh tú san Earrach ní bhainfhidh tú san bhfóighmhar.
    Is maith an cognamh do bhróig barriall.
    Ní téigeann coileóg san mbéal a bíonns dúnta.
