See a penny pick it up all day long you will have good luck

How frustrating when you can not bend down

Kill 2 birds with one stone

I would not hurt a fly

Never walk under a ladder

Walk on the road get hit by a car

Dont teach grandma to suck eggs

I ve never sucked an egg in my life

Lifes a ***** and then you die

Why does the female get the blame for everything

Safty in numbers

What about 13?

Spot a chimney sweep on your wedding day lucky

Not if he brushes past your dress

Do not take life to serious

They have got to be joking

Some Irish sayings for you.............

A family of Irish birth will argue and fight, but let a shout come from without and see them all unite.


A long stitch, a lazy tailor.


You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.

Don't give cherries to pigs or advice to fools

A silent mouth is sweet to hear.

When God made time, he made plenty of it

Where the tongue slips, it speaks the truth

A cabin with plenty of food is better than a hungry castle

Everyone is nice till the cow gets into the garden

It is often that a person's mouth broke his nose.

An empty bag won't stand

A man is often a bad adviser to himself and a good adviser to another.

Said of a tall, large woman
That's a fine doorful of a woman.

Of a gossiper
She has a tongue that would clip a hedge.

Of a coarse, ill-mannered person using poor language
What would you expect out of a pig but a grunt?

On trying to change a stubborn person's mind
You might as well be whistling jigs to a milestone.

Of an unfortunate one
He is always in the field when luck is on the road.
