- Cadh a dhéanfaifh mach an cait ach luch a mharbhú.
Dont throw out the dirty water till the clean water comes in.
A stitch in time saves nine
Many hands make light work.
Too much cooks spoil the brothe
Dont count the chickens till they come out.
Never put off till to-morrow what you can do today.
More haste less speed.
Look before you leap.
Make the hay while the sun shines.
Empty vessels make the most noise.(continues on next page)- Collector
