  1. (continued from previous page)
    Is deachair olna a bhaint de gabhar.
    Ar scaith a chéile a mhaireann na daoine.
    Níl aon mhaith sa mhaith a imthig.
    Mol an óig is tiochfaidh sí.
    Is giorra duit do léine ná do cóta.
    Is giorra duit tigh do comharsan ná tig do cara.
    Ní hé lá na gaoithe lá na scolb.
    An té a bhfuil tinn ní binn leis aon rud.
    Tosach maith leath na h-oibre.
    Ní thagann an óig fé dhó coidhche.
    Nuair is fuar é an teachtaire is fuair é an freagra.
    Is aoibhinn beatha na scoláire nuair a bíonn glas ar doras na scoile.
    Bíonn cluasa ar na cladhaca.
    Look before you leap.
    Blood is thicker than water.
    Never judge a book by the cover.
    Better late than never.
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Charity begins at home.
    Never too late to mend.
