Character is higher than intellect.
Always be true to thy work and word
Be sure you are right then go ahead
Education is the road to competence

Pairc Aoil
Mullaċ na Síḋe - He that dosent plough in Winter starves in Summer.
When the wind blows the mill goes.
Poor walls make the woman of the house lonely.
On his own saddle one rides safest
A good name is easier lost than won
Listeners never hear good of themselves
When two quarrel both are to blame
Friends are known in time of need.
He works well that has nothing to do.
Old birds are not caught with chaff.
Clever people often lose their mark.
The poor man is often rich in kindness.
Idleness is the mother of want.
Out of debt out of danger.(continues on next page)- Collector
