IRELAND: IRISH SAYINGS

The Irish have long been known for their sayings and proverbs. Here are just a few.

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.

"Tis better to buy a small bouquet
And give to your friend this very day,
Than a bushel of roses white and red,
To lay on his coffin after he's dead.

You can't take blood from a stone.

If you lie with dogs, you'll rise with fleas.
