Irish Proverbs

  • You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.
  • It is better to be a coward for a minute than dead for the rest of your life.
  • A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures.
  • You'll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind.
  • Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die.
  • Don't give cherries to pigs or advice to fools.
  • Anything will fit a naked man.
  • The only cure for love is marriage.

And my favorite: "He who gets a name for early rising can stay in bed until midday."
