- (continued from previous page)Birds of a feather all flock together.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Look before you leap.
Don't lock the stable door when the horse is gone.
Where there is luck there is muck.
Be easy with the fodder, there is a woman in the ladder. The meaning of this is that a married man is to go easy with the money because he has a woman to support.
Many muckles make a pie. The meaning of this is that if a poor man was going from house to house and getting a little from the people he would have the making of a meal in the evening.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.
Fair and easy goes fair in a day.
Honesty is the best policy
Cows in Connaught wear long horns.
Never buy a pig in a bag.
Make the hay while the sun shines.
Never do to another what you would not like done to yourself.
Fools build big houses for others to live in.
It's a long road that has no turn.
Those that laugh last laugh best.
Two heads are better than one.(continues on next page)
