    Is mairg ná cuireann srian le na ghuth
    Múchadh feirge so-fhreagra
    Tá cainnt saor is airgead ar thobac
    Is geárr cainnt ná éisteacht
    Mol an óige is tiocfhadh sí
    Nuair a bhíonn an cat ag an margadh
    bíonn na lucha ag rínnce
    An rud a scríobhann an Púca
    léigheann sé féin é
    Níl aon thinnteán mar do thinnteán fhéin
    Dá mbeadh sionann go Samhain bheadh breall ar dhuine éigin
    Fígheadóir, ucaire, is muc an triúr is bréine amuich
    Ma's caoí leat bheith bocht ní caoí dhuit bheith spriúnlaithe
    Is feárr olc ná éágmuis
    Nuair a fhéuchair ar do mhnaoí féuch ar do chlainn
    Is feárr tigh beag is teann ló
    ná tigh mó agus beagán bídh
    Bó aonaig nó maighaire Domhnaig
    An áit na mbíonn an fonn
    ní bhíonn na cosa ró throm
    Is feárr suidhe socair
    ná eiríghe is tuitim
    Machtnam i suaimhneas ach obair leat
    Dein maith is annsan dein arís í
    Is feárr Dia ná an t-ór
