Neither give cherries to pigs nor advice to a fool Soft words butter no parsnips but they won't harden the heart of the cabbage either. You'll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind. There are finer fish in the sea than have ever been caught A windy day is not the day for thatching A scholars ink lasts longer than a martyrs blood Take gifts with a sigh most men give to be paid What butter and whiskey will not cure there's no cure for The Irish forgive their great men when they are safely buried. The longest road out is the shortest road home. The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you fight with your neighbor.It makes you shoot at your landlord and it makes you miss him. If you lie down with dogs you'll rise with fleas. A silent mouth is sweet to hear A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse Men are like bagpipes no sound comes from them until they're full The hand goes only where the leg goes. You never miss the water till the well has run dry. There is not a tree in heaven higher than the tree of patience Least said soonest mended A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Poor is the church without music The person who brings a story to you will take away two from you. Leave the bad tale where you found it There are two tellings to every story Wilful waste makes woeful want A kerry shower is of twenty-four hours A whistling woman and a crowing hen will bring no luck to the house they are in A woman like a goose, a sharp pecking woman A woman like a pig, a sleepy-headed woman A woman like a sickle, a strong stubborn woman A woman like a goat, a woman of rushing visits A woman like a sheep, an affable friendly woman A woman like a lamb,a quiet friendly woman The sweat of one's brow is what burns everyone Every little makes a mickle It destroys the craft not to learn it Praise the young and they will make progress What's good for the goose is good for the gander The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune                                 NEXT
