Proverbs
Truth is tough it cannot break like a bubble
You cant catch a weasel asleep
You are time enough bidding the devil Good-morrow when you need him
Don't shout till you are out of the wood
Don't crow too high till first you try
Have it of your own or do without it
Ther's good goods in small parsels
Better to be a poor fisherman than to be a leader of men
Two shakes of a rat's tail.
Bernard Niland
Newbrook, Ballyglass.
Got from Mrs Marget Niland, (53)
