- (continued from previous page)Empty vessels makes most noise
Bend the twig bend the tree
Praise a fair day at night
A rolling stone gathers no moss
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing
Too far east is west
One years seeding is nine years weeding
The masters eye makes the horse thrive
Better to wear out shoes than sheets
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
An té a bhíonn amuig fuaireann a chuid
B'annam leis an gcath srathar do bheith air
Cailín ag mhóir agus móir ag iarraidh déirce
Dá fhaidh é an t-Earrach ní as a rachaidh
Éanlaith na h-éin cleite faoí an sgéith
Is fearr go mall na go bráth
Gac boct lé muir is gach saidhbhir lé sliabh
Na díol do cearc lá fliuch
Is fearr leat buillín na aon araín
Ritheann uisge doimhin go ciúin socar
Is fearr an maith do bhí ná an mhaith atá
Luigheann rathamhnás go minic ar amadán
Mara n-oireann an caipín duit na caith é
Ní bhuaidhféadh aon rud ar shean nós(continues on next page)- Informant
