The mills of the gods grind slowly but they grind finely.
The old pipe gives the sweetest smoke.
The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune.
The raggy colt often made a powerful horse.
The slow horse reaches the mill.
The smallest thing outlives the human being.
The steed does not retain its speed forever.
The three most beautiful sights: a potato garden in bloom, a ship under sail, and a woman after the birth of a child.
The wearer best knows where the shoe pinches.
The well fed does not understand the lean.
The windy day is not a day for scallops [thatching].
The work praises the man.
The world would not make a racehorse of a donkey.
There are finer fish in the sea than have ever been caught.
There is hope from the sea, but none from the grave.
There is no fireside like your own fireside.
There is no luck except where there is discipline.
There is no need like the lack of a friend.
There never was a scabby sheep in a flock that didn't like to have a comrade.
There never was an old slipper but there was an old stocking to match it.
There's no need to fear the wind if your haystacks are tied down.
