“It’s better to spend money like there’s no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there’s no money!”

It’s for her own good that the cat purrs.

Better good manners than good looks.

The light heart lives long.

A face without freckles is like a sky without stars.

A good word never broke a tooth.

May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far.

There’s no need to fear the wind if your haystacks are tied down.

Experience is the comb that life gives a bald man – A man who has lived long enough to lose his hair will no doubt know a thing or two about life.

It is often that a person’s mouth broke his nose.

A watched kettle never boils.

May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks. May your heart be as light as a song. May each day bring you bright, happy hours that stay with you all year long.

You’ve got to do your own growing no matter how tall your father was.

Humour, to a man, is like a feather pillow. It is filled with what is easy to get but gives great comfort.

Don’t become broke by trying to look rich.

Where the tongue slips it speaks the truth.

Here’s to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold pint and another one!
