    Sguabann sguab úr glan.
    Bíonn dath dearg ar an firinne i gcómhnuidhe.
    Bean tailliúr agus bean tincéirí sin dhá bean na réidtínn
    le na céile.
    Is fearr paiste na poll ach níl ann ach san.
    Is fearr mach le imirt na mach le h-ól.
    Leanann go dlúth do cul ár sinnsear.
    Samhradh gach síon go Nodlag.
    Ciallachán fada agus casbhadh na bróg deineann sean duine críona d'en bucaill óg.
    Ceannuig ar a trí agus diol ar a seact agus na beadh coidce gan capaill maith.
    Níor doig seanh cat ríom é féin.
    Núair is fúar é an teactaire is fúar é an freagra.
    Is maith comhairle ach is fearr cabhair.
    Leanann naire ag brón an dubhailte
    Nuair is cruaid don caillig caitheann sí ríth.
    Bíonn an féar le lonnradh na gréine.
    Is fuirist airgead a caiteamh ach is deacair é bailú.
    Is fearr aon ar bpos ná dá ceann ar thór.
    Is deacair girraidh a cuir as an dtor nach bfuil sé.
    Ní raibh rian ar deire ná bhead ar tosach ríamh.
    Is treise deinn ná dochas.
    Bíonn blas milis ar praisech do comursan.
    Eirighe much is luag deanach bíod rud agat nó bheith in eagmas.
