    (continued from previous page)
    A stitch in time saves nine.
    Every hound is a pup until it hunts.
    It is not the big stones alone that build the castle.
    Ireland for a penny but where is the penny.
    It is not on one foot that Patrick came to Ireland.
    August needs the dew as men needs bread.
    Busy as a liar in company or a hen at a bag of oats.
    Rich as Ireland's soil or sweet as the blackbirds call in Harvest.
    It is not every day that Manus kills a bullock
    When you hear a man say he will buckle down and a certain task and then brake's his promise. We say that's the hen's journey to Scothland.
    As small as a wren's mouth.
