Proverbs Page 12

Beef to the heels like a Mullingar heifer
Eight lives for the men and nine for the women
Wherever there are women there's talking, and wherever there's geese there's cackling
Irishwomen have a dispensation from the pope to wear the thick ends of their legs downwards
Women are shy and shame prevents them from refusing a man.
Everything dear is a woman's fancy
Like an Irish wolf she barks at her own shadow
She wipes the plate with the cat's tail
More hair than tit, like a mountain heifer
Women are stronger than men, they do not die of wisdom
When the old woman is hard pressed, she has to run
It's difficult to trust a woman
Man to the hills, woman to the shore
Beat a woman with a hammer and you'll have gold
'Tis as hard to see a woman cry, as a goose go barefoot
Where comes a cow the wiseman lay down (St.Colmcille), there follows a woman, and where comes a woman follows trouble
Only a fool would prefer food to a woman
Don't be ever in court or a castle without a woman to make your excuse
An excuse is nearer to a woman than her apron
There is nothing sharper than a woman's tongue
A woman without is she who has neither pipe nor child
The yellow praiseach (kale) of the fields that brings the Meath women to harm
