It is difficult to put a wise head on young shoulder
***
Some people are never satisfied
***
Silence is golden
***
A good word in court is better than a pound in your purse
***
A good word never broke anyone’s teeth
***
God’s help is nearer than the door
***
The day of the big wind is no time to be doing the thatching
***
Still waters run deep
***
There’s no good in keening when the funeral has moved off
***
Though little, it is tasty
***
Far away hills are green
***
Good men can often be found wearing worn britches
***
To the black crow its offspring bright
***
Beauty does not boil the pot
***
He would put legs under a chicken (talkative)
***
He who runs away lives to fight another day
***
It’s for its own good than a cat purrs
***
What is strange is wonderful
***
The man with boots does not have to worry about where he puts his feet
***
The world can’t make a racehorse out of a donkey
