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

If you do not sow in the spring, you will not reap in the autumn.

It’s no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking.

If you do not sow in the spring you will not reap in the autumn.

Here’s to me, and here’s to you. And here’s to love and laughter. I’ll be true as long as you. And not one moment after.

Two people shorten the road.

There are finer fish in the sea than have ever been caught.

A good friend is like a four-leaf clover; hard to find and lucky to have.

If you’re enough lucky to be Irish… You’re lucky enough!

God’s help is nearer than the door.

Forgetting a debt doesn’t mean it’s paid.

Say a little and say it well.

May neighbours respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and Heaven accept you.

The fox never found a better messenger than himself.

Every eye forms its own fancy.

Men are like bagpipes – no sound comes from them until they are full.
