- It’s a bad wind that doesn’t blow fair on somebody.It’s hard to spoil a bad egg.A man without learning wearing good clothes is like a goldring on a pigs nose.The line is as crooked as a Camán Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and
wise. What a person gets soft goes soft. If the cap fits you wear it.Man proposes but God disposes.When the wine is in the sense is out.A closed mouth catches no flies.Dumb devils are the worst of Devils.Don’t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.When it rains it pours.A wilful waste is a woeful want.People in glass houses should not throw stones. A good beginning is half the work.It’s a poor horse that cannot win one race.Late sowing is better than early buying.He who fights and runs away shall live to fight another day.Plough deep while the slugger sleeps and you shall have
corn to sell and to keep.Two heads are better than one head.(continues on next page)
