    Moilligheann Dia an deifir
    Is feárr suidhe geárr ná seasadh fada
    Is feárr leath ná meath
    Is onóirighe poll ná píosa
    An té a bhíonns i bhfad amuigh fuaruigheann a chuid
    Níor tháinig gorta ar triomach ariamh
    Is feárr an t-sláinte ná na táinte ar cnoc

    Ina dhiaidh is feicear an leas do'n Eireannach, agus roimhe do'n Sasanach

    Is fearr bheith maith go leor ná bheith ró-ghlic
    Is fearr teach beag agus rud a bheith ann ná teach mór gan rud ar bith
