Seanráití          - Proverbs 

​

Imíonn an maitheas i bhfanacht          - its usefulness is eroded by delay

Nach fada siar an rud a chuireanns Dia aniar        - God's providence is always close at hand

Tá dhá thaobh ar a'mbád         - there's more than one way to skin a cat 

a mhaitheas imithe as a bhfanacht          - benefit is lost through its tardiness

á fhada an lá, tigeann an tráthnónaí           - youth doesn't last forever

an rud a théanns i bhfad, téann sé i rianaíocht          - if it's not done now, it'll never get done

asal dhon deis, ach bean a bheith leis        - biting off more than you can chew

Ceannaigh sean rud agus bí gan aon rud        - buy an old thing and be without anything

Déanfaidh 'chéinne lena chuid fhéin         - let every man make do with what he's got

Na trí ní is tuibhe sa bhfarraige, roc, rón nó ronnach          - the three swiftest thing in the sea, the skate, the seal or the mackeral 

Nuair a stopfaidh síol, stopfaidh fuirseadh           - when this runs out, you won't be getting anymore

Sin seanráití a bhí fíreannach agus 'tá fíreannach i gcónaí               - That's an old saying that was true and still is
