    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today
    What could you expect from a pig but a grunt?
    Every dog is bold on his own dunghill
    "If" was never in a process or a likely story
    It's a bad hen that can't scratch for herself
    Give up your andhrew martins (capers)
    No morning sun lasts a whole day

    Is dána bean ná much
    Agus is dána much ná'n diabhal

    Put the priest in the middle of the parish
    (salt, milk etc in middle of table)

    While there's life there's hope
    The longer the beads the bigger the rogue
    Charity begins at home
    As sure as there's an eye in an ass
    As tight as two eggs for a penny
    If you have only a goat be in the middle of the fair
    Every day isn't a fair day
    Its no use crying over spilt milk
    What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander
