- A crowing hen and a whistling woman bring the devil out of his den.The watched pot never boils.The long thread of the lazy tailor.A year of sloes is a sorrowful year.Marry a mountain woman and you marry the mountain.Big head - little sense.Rubbing grease on the fat pig's back.A chip of the same block.The person who talks most works least.The world wouldn't make a racehorse of an ass.He would drink the Shannon dry.He could see the grass growing.Selling honey and buying sweets.One without a dinner two for supper.He is a poor priest who has not a clerk.Where the women are, there is talk.The nearer the bone the sweeter the flesh.The jewel that is difficult to find is the most beautiful.The war of friends doesn't last long.
