| IRISH PROVERBS A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. Life is like a cup of tea, it's all in how you make it.
Be kind to those that meet you as you rise, you may pass them again as you fall. Tis better by far at the rainbows end to find not a pot of gold but the heart of a friend. God's help is nearer than the door. As you ramble through life, whatever be your goal;
Keep your eye upon the doughnut, and not upon the hole. God is good, but never dance in a small boat. A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea. Distant hills look green. A drink precedes a story. Time is a great story teller. A friend's eye is a good mirror. Put silk on a goat, and it's still a goat. There is no fireside like your own fireside. It takes time to build castles.
Rome was not built in a day. When a twig grows hard it is difficult to twist it.
Every beginning is weak. A hen is heavy when carried far. A hound's food is in its legs. A lock is better than suspicion. A silent mouth is melodious. A trade not properly learned is an enemy. Age is honorable and youth is noble. As the big hound is, so will the pup be. Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die. Even a small thorn causes festering. Good as drink is, it ends in thirst. He who comes with a story to you brings two away from you. |
