1 " A drink for the thirst that did not come yet" as a drunken said when buying a drink the following morning.
2 The best hurler is always on the ditch.
3 Too many cooks spoil the broth.
4 Many hands make light work.
5 An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
6 A lie has no legs.
7 Old friends are better than new friends.
8 Spare the rod and spoil the child.
9 Live horse and you will get grass.
10 Empty vessels make most noise.
11 Blood is thinker than water.
12 A watched pot never boils.
13 The longest way round is the shortest way home.
14 The rainy day is not the day for thatching.
