- It is easy to take a horse to the water but it is not easy to make him drink.
There is many a way of hanging a dog for by choking.
Dirt goes before the brush.
It is not easy to take bricks off a Heelan man.
It runs in the blood like a stick leg.
As old as Tadhg's dog
As broad as Mc Callion's dresser, two bowls and a plate
Your trying to fly your kite very high
The fox is only a "gacaidh" to you.
You will not find him crying at the end of every wee town.
That is the kettle calling compliments to the pot.
That is out of the fire and into the frying-pan.
You could hear her calling in 'High-spin-yeorin".
