    Sayings in Parish of Inagh
    The high road for the dog, and the path for the pup.
    Every dog had his day and every cat his night.
    Put the devil on horseback and he will ride the hills.
    take a book and teach a dog to read, and after all he will show the beagle breed.
    The world could not make a racehorse out of an ass.

    You could not make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.
    A man's mind is his kingdom.
