    Sgéal dá innsint do capall agus an capall na codladh.
    Ní deinfead an saoghal capall rás d'asail.
    An rud a faigtear go bog caitear go bog í.
    Geamhair iothlann nó clann ministir.
    Ní raibh mór riamh ná raibh bocht na diaidh
    Ag caitheamh an t-solus san oidhce agus ag caitheamh na t-suse sa ló.
    Is é an duine an t-eadach.
    Is fearr obair ná caint.
    Bíonn misneach ag gach madra i na gairdín féin.
    Is fada an bóthair ná bfuil casadh ann.
    Balluigeann brob beart.
    Nuair a bíonn na leabhair agat ní bíonn na léigheann
    agat.
    Bíonn gach tosnúghadh lag
    Is fearr a bheit in am ná in am tráth.
    Fill orm a deir an droch gnó.
    Is fearr a bheith ag dul ar agaidh ná ag dul ar cúl.
    Is minic a bain duine slat cun é féin a bualadh
    Sé capall na h-oibre an biadh.
    Ní cuimhnigtear ar an t-arán tar éis é d'ithe.
    Is maith é an oige don té a cuireann é ar fóghnamh.
    Ní ceart ag breith amuich í.
    Ná h-éileamh do ceart go bfeicir do neart.
    Ní deanach an mhaith aon úair.
    Maruigeann an failteas an tuirse.
    Dein úair amháin é agus tá sé deanta go deo.
    Loiteann breis cocaire an teannlan.
