    Sábhail an féar le teas an ghréin.
    Is minic an t-ádh ar amadán.
    Is feárr seo é na cá'il sé.
    Is feárr suidhe ag a bhun ná suidhe in áit.
    Níl coill ar bith gan loiscidhe féin.
    Ní léachtaibh bealach i gcóill ná bealach le na fhágáil.
    Tiomsuigheann brob beart.
    Níor dún Dia bearna ariamh nar oscail sé ceann eile.
    Is feárr marcuigheacht ar ghabhar na coisidhthe dá fheabhas.
    Is sonaighe taobh den chlaidhe ná an taobh eile.
    Ní theigheann cuileóg san mbéal a bhíos dunta.
    Ní fhághann minic onoir.
    Fág an tír nó bí sa bhfaisiún.
    Is mór é luach na foighde.
    Níl fhios cé's feárr luathas ná moill.
    Nuair is cruaidhe don chaileach caithfidh sí rith.
