Irish Proverbs
You'll never plow a field by turning it
over in your mind
The old pipe gives the sweetest
smoke
A silent mouth is sweet to hear
A scholar's ink lasts longer than a
martyr's blood
The Irish forgive their great men
when they are safely buried
The older the fiddle the sweeter
the tune
Its no use boiling your cabbage
twice
A wild goose never reared a tame
gosling
A boy's best friend is his mother.
Firelight will not let you read
fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor
As the old cock crows the young
cock learns
It's for her own good that the cat
purrs
It's no use carrying an umbrella if
your shoes are leaking
There was never a scabby sheep in a
flock that didn't like to have a comrade
Men are like bagpipes: no sound
comes from them until they're full
You must crack the nut before you
can eat the kernel
What would a young cat do but eat
mice?
If you put a silk dress on a goat
he is a goat still
You never miss the water 'till the
well has run dry
Half a loaf is better than no bread
Don't count your chickens before
they are hatched
It is no time to go for the doctor
when the patient is dead
Remember even if you lose all, keep
your good name for if you lose that you are worthless
The person who brings a story to
you will take away two from you.
A silent mouth never did any harm
Don't let your tongue cut your
throat
Time is a good story-teller
Truth stands when everything else
falls
Everyone is wise till he speaks
Food is no more important than
wisdom. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God
Making the beginning is one third
of the work
A good beginning is
half the work
