    It's an old saying and a true one that a new broom sweeps clean.
    When there' a will there's a way
    "Ní h-é lá na gaoithe, lá na sgolb"
    A watched pot never boils
    There is many a day in twenty one years
    There was a tailor sewing one time and he had no candlestick for the candle, so he stuck it to the wall and said - "It's hard to beat the art of man."
    Another old saying that "half a loaf is better than no bread
    The proverb says that in the end the best of friends must part
    Another old saying is that friends meet but hills do not.
    The hills are green far away
    When all fruit fails welcome haws
    As crooked as a ram's horn
    Too many cooks spoil the broth
