- Is furusta fuil a bhaint as cúl carach.
Níor innis galar fada bréag riamh.
Is fearr an am nó an nan tráth.
Is furusta fuineadh in aice na mine.
I gan fhios don dlighe a bheith b'fhearr gan ann.
Céard tá síos buailtear cois air agus céard tá suas óltar deoch air.
Is leis an bfuich an trioblóid.
Scéar a rachas rád san t-Éarraigh.
Is maith an t-anlann an t-ocras.
Is túisce deoch ná scéal.
Nuair is mó an deifir is mó an mol.
Ná díol do chearc lá fliuch.
Ná ceannuigh muc i mála.
Is mór an truagh duine gan aoinne.
Tosach maith leath na h-oibre.
An té nach stríocfadh do cith na maidne ní cíorfadh sé a cheann leat.
Briseann an dúchas trí shúile an chait.
Ní h-é lá na gaoithe, lá na sgoilipe.
Nuair a bhíos an t-ól istigh bíonn an chiall amuigh.
Ní dhóigh an sean-chat é féin riamh.
Is fearr marcaidheacht ar ghabhar ná coisidheacht dhá fheabhas.
Is fearr go mall ná go bráth.(continues on next page)
