- Is fearr rud maith ná droch-seasamh.
Nuair a bíonn do láimh i mbéal madra tattaing go réidh í.
Ní bíonn an rath ach mar a mbíonn a smacht.
Dá mbeadh fhios agat beadh leighis agat.
Ní beatuigeann na breithre na bráithre.
Ní fhanann rith maith ag an each i gcónaí.
Is fearr an maith atá ná an dá maith a bhí.
Bíonn an fhírinne searbh.
Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin
Is geal leis an bhfiach dubh a ghéarcaic féin.
Is fearr grá ná faitíos.
Bíonn ádh ar amadán.
Ná díol do cearc an lá fliuch.
An té ná mhuinfidh Dia ní múinfid an t-saol é.
Má imthig taoide tiocfaidh taoide.
Dá mbeadh sé tirm go Samhain beadh bhreall ar duine éigint.
We must think before we act.
What goes by nature costs no money.
The truth is very bitter.
It is not the big stones alone(continues on next page)- Collector
