| Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it's warm and you won't see the dust on the floor |
| Humour to a man is like a feather pillow. It is filled with what is easy to get But gives great comfort. |
| A windy day is not the day for thatching |
| May peace and plenty bless your world with joy and long endures |

| May St Patrick guard you wherever you go and guide you in whatever you do .. and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always. |
| May your glass be ever full May the roof over your head be always strong And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead. |
| The friend that can be bought is not worth buying |
| The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune |
| Always remember to forget The things that made you sad. But never forget to remember The things that made you glad Always remember to forget The friends that proved untrue But never forget to remember Those that have stuck by you. Always remember to forget The troubles that passed away But never forget to remember The blessings that come each day. |
| May you live a long life Full of gladness and health With a pocket full of gold As the least of your wealth. May the dreams you hold dearest, Be those which will come true, The kindness you spread Keep returning to you. May the friendships you make Be those which endure And all of your grey clouds Be small ones for sure. And trusting in Him To Whom we all pray May a song fill your heart, Every step of the way. ~Grace E Easley~ |
| A chance shot will not kill the devil |
| You will never plough a field by turning it over in your mind |
| Take gifts with a sigh, most men give to be paid |
| Those who go to church are not all saints |
| The fox never found a better messenger than himself |
| A buckle is a great addition to an old shoe |
| A narrow neck keeps the bottle from being emptied in one swig |
