“Marbh le tae agus marbh gan é”

(Dead from tea and dead without it!)

This seanfhocal is from my primary school homework journal.

How could I forget "Is binn béal ina thost"- The silent mouth is sweet. Easily the best way to tell someone to shut tf up.

Seanfhocal

Seanfhocal is the Irish (Irish Gaeilge) word for proverb, meaning ‘old word’.

Seanfhocal an lae

Fearthain don lao agus griandon tsearrach; uisce don gé agus déirc don bhacach.  Rain to the calf and sun to the foal; water to the goose and alms to the beggar.

Everybody’s needs are different and nobody is self-sufficient. We all need something and we all deserve to have our needs fulfilled.
