( Úna ), Glenpadden, Hollyford, Tipperary. - A pig’s ear cannot make mutton.

A stitch in time saves nine.
Fools make feasts while the wise men play.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures in the doctor’s book.
He is a good hurler who sits on the fence.
A letter box saves many knocks.
Hunger is a sweet sauce.
It is difficult to put a wise head on young shoulders.
A spark may cause an awful blaze.(continues on next page)- Collector
