Travelling broadens the mind

Bíonn siúlach scéalach

Life is strange

Is aisteach an mac an saol

Wisdom does not come before age

Bíonn ceann caol ar an óige

Is deacair ceann críonna a chur ar cholainn óg

Ní thagann ciall roimh aois

Every cloud has a silver lining

Is olc an ghaoth nach séideann do dhuine éigin

You cannot do things at once

Ní féidir an dá thrá fhreastal

Rome wasn't built in a day

I ndiaidh a chéile a thógtar na chaisléan

What's seldom is wonderful

An rud is annamh is iontach

Distance cows have longer horns

Bíonn adharca fada ar na bó thar lear

Health is better than wealth

Is fearr an tsláinte ná na táinte

Silence is golden

Is binn béal ina thost

It's better to be poor and happy rather than rich and not happy

Is fearr bheith bocht sona ná saibhir dona

Evil returns to the evil doer

Filleann an feall ar an bhfeallaine

One who isn't strong has to be clever

An té nach bhfuil láidir ní foláir dó bheith ghic

Small is beautiful

Bíonn blas ar an mbeagán

The quiet one is often the guilty one

Is minic ciúin ciontach

Nobody is perfect

Ní bhíonn saol gan locht

Faraway hills are greener

Is glas iad na cnoic i bhfad uainn

When the cat's away, the mouse will play

Nuair a bhíonn an cat amuigh bíonn an luch ag rince

A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush

Is fearr éan sa lámh ná dhá éan sa tor

There's no place like home

Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin

There's two sides to every story

Bíonn dhá insint ar gach scéal

If you persist you will achieve

Mair a chapaill agus gheobhadh tú féar

What one thinks to be a fate worse than death, may be a blessing in disguise

An rud is measa le duine b'fhéidir gurb é lár a leas é

A trout in the hand is better than a salmon in the pool

Is fearr breac sa láimh ná bradán sa linn

Laughing is not far from crying

Ní fada ón ngáire an gol

The truth is bitter

Is minic a bhíonn an fhúinne searbh

Cease the moment

Tapaigh an deis

No man is an island

Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine

Hunger is the best sauce

Is maith an t-anlann ar t-ocras

The haves don't understand the have nots

Ní thuigeann an sách an seang

It takes one to know one

Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile

There's no prosperity where there is no discipline

Ní bhíonn an rath mar a bhionn an smacht

Cooperation

Ní neart go chur le chéile

A friend in need is a friend indeed

Aithnítear cara i gcruatan

You can't do the impossible

An rud nach féidir ní féidir é

He who is down is walked on

An té a bhíonn thíos buaitear cos air

Every beginning is weak

Bíonn gach tosach lag
