- (continued from previous page)Potatoes were never used for starch in this parish; but were in the next (Killea).
- The darkest hour is the hour before dawn. Tomorrow the sun will be shining although it looks cloudy today. The ripest apple is the quickest rotten and the hottest love is the soonest cooled. When the cat is out the mouse is dancing. The longer you live the more you see. You will never miss the water until the well is dry. Have it youself or be without it. Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you. There is no fireplace like your own. Even the saddest dog can wag his tail. As the old cock crows the young one learns. A cat can look at a king. Out of sight out of mind. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
