    Is rí gach duine ar a thoil fhéin.
    A bhfad ó mó dhaoine eadar da dtír, a chara ná smaointigh má fhágail.
    Ní thig eolas gan aon toigheas.
    An té a bíos buaidheartha, bidh sé ag bogadaigh.
    An té a bhíos gan chéill, bidh sé ag magadh air.
    Ní buan cogadh ná gcarad.
    Ní tháinig riamh an meadhar mór, nach dtiocfadh ná dhiaidh an dubh bhrón.
    Is maol gual gan dearbhráthair.
    Is minic a loit beathach álta beathach uasal.
    Gach éan mar oiltear é.
    Cé bith ar treise leis lann, bíodh aige an gadhar bán sá fiadh.
    Más feall tillfidh.
    Is fearr uaigneas maith ná droch chuideachta.
    Níor dhruid Dia doras ariamh nach bhfoscladh sé ceann eile.
    Is fearr focal sa chúirt, ná púnt sá sparán.
    Is binn béal ná thost.
    Is maith an té a ghnidheas a ghnoithe dó fhéin.
    An té is lugha céill, is cóir a rogha a chead uair.
    Éan tsúil amháin i gcionn duine is cuma é ann nó as.
