A wee bit of Irish wit and wisdom:
A wise woman is better than a foolish doctor.
If you want praise, die, if you want blame, marry.
The old person is a child twice.
Men are like bagpipes–no sound comes from them until they’re full.
Neither a lawbreaker nor a lawmaker be. There is naught but unease in either occcupation.
A heart should always be big enough to safely enfold all of one’s friends and family; a house should be too small to hold them all.
