|Every cat after its kind.
A borrowed horse has hard hoofs.
People meet but the hens never meet.
It is difficult to cut wool off a goat.
God made the back for the burden.
A closed mouth and a wise head.
It is often a persons mouth broke his nose.
The truth never choked a man.
A good word never broke a man's mouth.
It is not possible to be eating and whistling at the same time.
When the wine is in the sense is out.
Four things that an Irishman cannot trust, - a cow's horn a horse's hoof a dog's snark and an English man's laugh.

The deed will praise itself
Praise youth and it will come.(continues on next page)
