- (continued from previous page)The nearest to the chapel the farthest from God
What is not lost or stolen is bound to be got
Never dread the storm until the snow goes into the bed
There's no use in shouting in the fire when you have nothing to sell.
It's hard to make stirabout without meal
You could not expect luck on the Dublin road
All in a row like Browns cows
It just fitted me like a hair in the water
Time will tell and frost will test the potatoes
Ten to one like a pavin brokers ball
A dear article that is borrowed and left at home
Ask my brother am I a rogue
He is no poor man that has two shirts
When every-body is breaking their necks going across the ditch you walk easy
The curse of Cromwell on you
Look twice before you leap
What is considered twice is well considered
No use in putting a gassoom in a mans place
No cure for spilled milk only lick the pitcher.
have a thing of your own or be without it.
Out of sight out of mind
A grey horse looks well in a bog.
Your late to run for the priest when the person is dead
A wise person never found a dead man
That person was as honest as the priest on the altar(continues on next page)- Collector
