- The old Irish had a lot of proverbs some of which are as follows :-
Look before you leap.
Tell me your company and I will tell you what you are.
An empty house is better than a bad tenant.
Work begun is half done.
Two heads are better than one.
The stone that the mason rejected became the top of the corner.
It is a long road that has no bend.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The used key is always bright.
The sleeping fox catches no poultry.
The early bird catches the worm.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A straw shows how the wind blows.
All that glittes is not gold.
The blind leading the blind.
Physician heal thyself.(continues on next page)- Collector
