| Ireland, the land of saints and scholars, has always been prized for its folk wisdom. Here are over 250",seanfhocail", (literally, old words) - proverbs and sayings - with their translations, that still resonate today. They remind us that",Ni feidir an sheanfhocail a sharu", (You can't beat an old saying),",An te a bhionn siulach, bionn se scealach (He who has travelled has knowledge), and",Fuighilleach sil, fuighilleach ciosa, agus fuighilleach carad, tri rud chomh maith agus bi ag aon duine riamh. (A surplus of seed, a surplus of rent (money), and a surplus of friends, three things as good as anyone ever had). Good advice in everyone! A perfect travel companion. |
