Firelight will not let you read fine stories but its warm and you wont see the dust on the floor.
As the old cock crows the young cock learns.
Humor to a man is like a feather pillow. It is filled with what is easy to get but gives great comfort.
Many an Irish property was increased by the lace of a daughter's petticoat.
The best way to keep loyalty in a man's heart is to keep money in his purse.
A narrow neck keeps the bottle from being emptied in one swig.
A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea
If the knitter is weary the baby will have no new bonnet
Its for her own good that the cat purrs.
Even a tin knocker will shine on a dirty door
An old broom knows the dirty corners best
One beetle recognizes another
To the raven her own chick is white
When the sky falls we'll catch larks.
Any man can lose his hat in a fairy- wind.
If you have one pair of good soles its better than two pairs of good uppers
It s no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking
It's difficult to choose between two blind goats.
A silent mouth is sweet to hear
It's as hard to see a woman crying as it is to see a barefooted duck
He'd offer you an egg if you promised not to break the shell
Its a bad hen that won't scratch herself
No matter how often a pitcher goes to the water it is broken in the end
There was never a scabby sheep in a flock that didn't like to have a comrade
A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse
The fox never found a better messenger than himself
There'll be white blackbirds before an unwilling woman ties the knot
Show the fatted calf but not the thing that fattened him.
A buckle is a great addition to an old shoe
In winter the milk goes to the cow's horns
