   "He goes a piece of the road with everyone, like "lanna mo croide's dog", said when people go a piece of the road with everyone they know.
   "A rag- man will never go to hell", that is, his rags will catch in the bushes.
   "Of small account is the fly 'till it gets into the eye", that is, the fly is of no harm 'till it gets into the eye.
   "If you put a beggar on horseback he will ride to hell".

   " A stitch in time saves nine" "Better go twice and go light". "Young a gambler, Old a beggar". "Out of debt, Out of danger". "It is a long lane that has no twists". "Lie down with a dog and you will get up with fleas" Eaten bread is soon forgotten. Beggars can't be choosers.
