Proverbs
Two heads are wiser than one
Think twice before you speak once
Two wrongs never make a right
The middle of the road is no shough
Penny wise pound foolish
Its a wise man that carries his over-coat a fine day
It's no good to cry over spilt milk
Clatar mo clean every day washing and no day clean.
Six old shoes make three pairs
Mary Hogan,
Newbrook, Taugheen
Got from, John Hogan,
Newbrook.
