Is fearr an tsláinte ná na táinte
Health is better than wealth
Filleann an feall ar an bhfeallaire
The wrong doing returns to/on the perpetrator
An té atá thuas óltar deoch air
The successful person is toasted
An té atá thíos buailtear cos air
The person who is down is pushed down further
Is furasta fuinnt in aice na mine
It is easy to knead near the meal
Ní féidir feadaíl agus min i do bhéal agat
One cannot whistle with meal in one’s mouth
Is fearr bheith diamhaoin ná bheith droch-ghnothach
Better to be idle than involved in wrong-doing
Dochtúir na sláinte ná codladh
Sleep is of the essence for health
In am an ghátair a braitear na cáirde
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Dá mbéadh soineann go Samhain bhéadh breall ar dhuine eicínt
Even if we had lovely weather until November some would still be dissatisfied
