- (continued from previous page)To run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.
You cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Aithnigheann ciaróg ciaróg eile or Birds of a feather flock together.
A wise man carries his coat a fine day.
To eat the face off a person.
The idle man tempts the devil.
Far away hills look green or Kerry cows wear long horns.
Every old stocking meets an old shoe.
Never put off 'till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
Better late than ever.
Fingers were made before forks.
Grey hairs should be respected.
The early bird catches the worm.
It is a long road that has no turning.
No matter how long the night is the day comes at last.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
'Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good.(continues on next page)- Informant
