| Margaret's Pages - of Irish Proverbs and Irish Wit featuring photos of Irish scenery |
| The Irish have a way with words, and the proverbs bring a cheery smile to the face and really are very much, commonsense, and worthy of reading. |
 |
| May love and laughter light your days and warm your heart and home |
| May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam |
| There is no need to fear the wind if your haystacks are tied down |
| Neither give cherries to pigs nor advice to a fool . Soft words butter no parsnips but they won't harden the heart of the cabbage either. |
| Many an Irish property was increased by the lace of a daughter's petticoat |
