Irish Proverbs

May the enemies of Ireland never eat bread nor drink whisky, but be tormented with itching without benefit of scratching.

May your heart be light and happy, may your smile be big and wide, and may your pockets always have a coin or two inside!

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

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor’s book.

A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea.

May the most you wish for be the least you get.

Wherever you go and whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be there with you.

You’ll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind.
