- The more hurry the less speed.
People with glass glass heads cannot throw stones.
Live horse and you will get grass.
Better late than never.
Dont count your chickens before they are hatched.
As long as the fox runs he is caught at last.
It's better to be sure than sorry.
It's a long road that there is not a turn to.
You cannot take feathers off a frog.
God is nearer than the door.
Hungry eyes see far.
Always look before you leap.
What you dont know won't sicken you.
All is well that ends well.
Its a very bad wind that blows nobody good.
Every day tells its own story.
The goats in Connacht have very long horns.
Two heads are better than one.
Far away fields look green.
You cannot have your loaf and eat it.
Think twice before you speak once.
A watched kettle never boils.
There is never smoke without a fire.
You will never miss the water till the well runs dry.(continues on next page)
