- (continued from previous page)parcels.
To late to spare when all is spent but never to late to learn.
Suspicion haunts the guilty mind.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A little pot is soon hot.
The longest way round is the shortest way home.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Little pectures have long ears.
Bend the twig while it is young.
A closed mouth catches no flies.
Man proposes but God disposes.
Welcome the new year and forget the old.
Coming events casts their shadow before them.
Goats from Kerry wear long horns
- A friend in need is a friend indeed.
The hard road for the old dog
and the footpath for the puppy.
Never leave till to-morrow what you can do to-day. - Collector
- T. Ó Cróinín

- Glanmire, Co. Cork
