- Proverbs.
Many proverbs are used by the Irish people which show the faith of out race and our love for our country and many of them tell a pretty story The following are proverbs which I have often heard.
A rolling stone gathers no moss
All is not gold that glitters.
Necessity is the mother of invention
never put off until to morrow what you can do to day.
Make hay while the sun shines
it is a long lane but has no turning
As long as the pitcher is going to the well it is broken at last
Still waters run deep
It is a bad wind but blows good for some one
A good run is better than a bad stand
Cows far away wear long horns.
Make new friends but keep the old
A new broom sweeps clean.(continues on next page)
