Trish wanted more Irish Sayings, how many of these came to the States with your family? Any stories you know or recognize in the sayings?
As old as Atty Haye's goat.
As Hairy as a puck-goats head
As thieving as a fox's snout
Beauty won't make the pot boil
May you live and wear it
Go bhfana í ngrá linn - May those who love us...
May you have heath to wear it
May luck be to the married couple
May the face of every good news and the back of every bad news be towards us
As wise as the women of Mungret
As hard as the hob of hell
As cunning as the fox
As deep as the sea
As bashful as a girl
As slow as a late dinner
As dull as ditch water
As swift as a hare
As true as the gospel
As brave as Fionn MacCumhall
As yellow as a ragweed
As lazy as a donkey
As lazy as a piper's luidin
As cunning as the fox
As long as a wet Sunday
It's hard to teach an old dog to dance.
As the cock crows, the young bird chirps
To be old and decayed dishonors no-one
In youth we have our troubles before us; in age we leave pleasure behind.
As busy as a bee
As salty as the sea
As good as gold
As rich as Damer
As old as the hills
And Remember...A whisper in Nora's ear is louder than a shout from the highest hill
