Gaelic Proverbs

these have helped me as daily meditations things I try to think of went the stress of modern life starts to get to me. 

As an teine don ghriasaich   out of the fire, into the embers, from bad to worse

Luathaid gu deanamh maille   to much rush causes delay.

Iallan fada a lethair duin eile   "Long laces from another man's leather." Taking advantage of another

Am fear a gheibh ainm na mocheirich, faoaidh e cadal anmoch   The man who is known as an early riser can sleep late.

Gheibh faidhidinn furstachd   patience will get relief or reward

Bosd gun chur leis   Pride with nothing to back it up

SW ann mu seach a sheideas na builg   The bellows blow one about; one is up today and down tomorrow.

Mollaidh an t-each math e fhein   The good horse will praise itself.

Cha tig spilgein air fear eiginn   A person in need gets nothing

An rud a dh'fhalbhas chan e d'fhonis   what is gone, or goes isn't sufficient.

Suirghe cein is posadh am bun na h ursainn   Distant courting, and marrying close at hand (at the door posts).

Rud nach cluin cluas cha ghluais cridhe   That which the ear doesn't hear won't stir the heart.

A proverb I try and live by:

Cuimhnichibh air na daoine bho'n d'thainig sibh   Remember the people whom you come from.
