“No time for health today, no health for your time tomorrow.”

May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.

Bricks and mortar make a house, but the laughter of children make a home.

Never scald your lips with another man’s porridge.

A little fire that warms is better than a big fire that burns.

Better to be fortunate than rich.

The best things in life are the people we love, the places we have been and the memories we have made along the way.

A family of Irish birth will argue and fight, but let a shout come from without, and see them all unite.

A cabin with plenty of food is better than a hungry castle.

All the world’s a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.

May misfortune follow you the rest of your life, and never catch up.

May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.

It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead the rest of your life.

May you be at the gates of heaven an hour before the devil knows you’re dead!

God made time, but man made haste.

From the day you marry your heart will be in your mouth and your hand in your pocket.

Who keeps his tongue keeps his friends.
