If you are looking for a friend without a fault
you will be without a friend forever
Broken Irish is better,
than clever English.
However long the day,
the evening will come.
Tell it to Mary in a whisper,
and Mary will tell it to the parish.
There is often the look of an angel
on the Devil himself.
One cockroach
recognizes another.
Distant hills
look green.
It is often that a person's mouth
broke his nose.
It is often that a person's tongue
cut his throat.
Three things hardest to understand;
the mind of women,
the work of the bees,
the coming and going of the tide.
The quiet one
is often guilty.
Twenty years coming,
Twenty years good,
Twenty years declining, and
Twenty years useless.
There's no hearth
like your own hearth.
There's no sore ass
like your own sore ass
Your son is your son today,
but your daughter is your daughter forever.
God and Mary to you,
And the rest of the saints to yourself.
Top of the morning to you
and the rest of the day to yourself.
