    A Saturday wash has a dirty splash
    Saturday's flit is a short sit.
    If you see one magpie it is for sorrow, two for mirth, three for a wedding, and four for a birth.
    Carrying too big a load is called the "Lazy Man's Burden."
    When Greenan Hill puts on its hat, let Inch and Fahan beware of that.
    Never put the cart before the horse, and never take the book by the cover.
    Remember that clothes don't make a man.
