| The wonderful wit of the Irish with great photographs from a Irishman |
| O'Briens Bridge, River Shannon, Clare |
| Better April showers than the breadth of the ocean in gold |
| Blow not on dead embers |
| O'Briens Bridge, River Shannon, Co Clare |
 |
| This is a dead tree. Water flows from the top, down the sides into a small circular pond |

| If you come up in this world be sure not to go down in the next |
| You'll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind. |
| If you move old furniture, it may fall to bits |
| Associate with the nobles, but be not cold to the poor and lowly |
| It is no use carying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking |
| Firelight will not let you read fine stories but it is warm and you will not see the dust on the floor |
| Forgetting a debt doesn't mean it's paid |
| A meeting in the sun is lucky, and a burying in the rain. |
| No heat like that of shame |
| Better to be a man of character than a man of means |
| Never sell a hen on a wet day |
| Better the trouble that follows death than the trouble that follows shame |
| Blind should be the eyes in the abode of another |
| There is no joy without afflication |
| Beauty won't make the kettle boil |
| There is no point in keping a dog if you are going to do your own barking. |
| An oak is often split by a wedge from it's own branch |
| A man with loud talk makes truth itself seem folly |
| Good fortune often abides with a fool |
| You won't learn to swim on the kitchen floor |
| If you don't want flour on your clothes, stay out of the mill. |
| However long the day, night must fall |
| The old dog for the hard road and leave the pup on the path |
| If it's a drowning you are after, don't torment yourself with shallow water |
| Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal |
| There never came a gatherer but a scatterer came after him |
| No two people ever lit a fire without disagreeing |
| No pain like that of refusal |
| Dead men tell no tales but there's many a thing learned in the wake-house |
