Pisreoga  [duchas:4345827]

It is not right to bring out a coal without puting down a sod of turf.

It is not right to bring a stick on your shoulder in the door.

If wishes were horses, beggers would ride.

If you go under a stick that is in a gap you will never grow if you do. You must go back under it again.

It is not right to turn back if you are going anywhere.
