| "Is fearr focal sa chuirt na
punt sa sparan" |
A good word in court is better
than a pound in your purse |
| "is minic a bhi fear maith i
seanbhriste" |
Good men can often be found
wearing worn britches |
| "Bionn blas ar an mbeagan" |
Though little, it is tasty |
| "Ar mhaite leis fein a
dheinneann an cat cronan" |
It's for its own good a cat purrs |
| "is fearr rith maith na
drochsheasamh" |
He who runs away lives to fight
another day |
| "Is binn beal ina thost" |
Silence is golden |
| "Is giorra cabhair De na an
doras" |
Gods help is nearer than the door |
| "is geal leis an bhfiach dubh
a ghearrcach fein" |
To the black crow its offspring
is bright |
| "Ni haon maith a bheith ag
caoineadh nuair a imionn an tsochraid" |
There's no good in keening when
the funeral has moved off |
| "Is glas iad cnoic i bfad
uainn" |
Far away hills are always green |
