- (continued from previous page)their candles away
A day in March never begs its bread
If March comes in like a lion it will go out like a lamb
A wet and windy May
Fills the haggards with corn and hay
Far off fields appear green
Wilful waste makes woeful want
A rainbow in the morning is a shepherd's warning
A rainbow in the night is a shepher's delight
Many hands make light work
Spare the rod and spoil the child
Never say what you are going to do to-morrow because when to-morrow comes it is to-day.
To-morrow is a day that never came
As solid as the Rock of Cashel
As old as a whitethorn bush
He that laughs last laughs longest
Far-off hills appear green
A thick fog on an August morning is a sign of rain
It's an ill wind that does not blow somebody good
The constant drop of rain wears away the rock
Children and fools should not play with edged tools
One trouble never comes alone
'Tis abase dog that bits the hand that feeds him
The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune(continues on next page)
