   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   These are the proverbs which are used locally in my district ;
   "A stitch in time saves nine."
   "A burned child dreads the fire."
   "Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day."
   "A half burned coal is easy kindled."
   "Contentment is better than riches."
   "Neither a borrower nor a lender be."
   "A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush."
   "Many hands make light work."
   "It's better to have nae child than ae child."
   "Prevention is better than cure."
   "It is never too late to learn."
   "Beauty is only skin deep."
   "One swallow never made a summer."

   The old people in this district always quote these proverbs whenever the opportunity arises. For instance when the people say, "The swallows are landed," they'll say "One swallow never made a summer." If anything particularly good happens to a person, they'll say, "It's better to be born lucky than rich." Another local proverb is, "Empty vessels make most sound."
