Irish Proverbs & Sayings

Peace


Nobody ever bought peace but the man who hadn't got it.

Peace (quietness) is worth buying.

No matter who succeeds or fails, the peacemaker will always suffer

To the fighting man peace is sure





Love


The only cure for love is marriage

Marriages are all happy it's having breakfast together that causes all the trouble

There'll be white blackbirds before an unwilling woman ties the knot

It's a lonely washing line that has no man's shirt on it!
