Beauty
Beauty is only skin deep but nobody wants to be drowned
Elegance and beauty are the same thing when there’s a man after them
Always make sure she looks beautiful before breakfast as well as after dinner
Love
Love is blind but the neighbours see through it
Love is like stirabout, it must be made fresh every day
Love at first sight often happens at twilight
If you live in my heart you live rent free
Old coals are easiest kindled
Sheeps eyes don’t see beyond the settle
If she has a mind of her own, there won’t be many with a mind for her
Wait till you’re 18 to marry and don’t be spoiling your growth
If a man is in love he’s no judge of beauty but when love wears off he’ll tell a woman about her warts
Man
Men are like bagpipes: no sound comes from them until they’re full
A man is a man when his woman is a woman
A sea wind changes less often than the mind of a weak man
A man works hard for success and then squanders his time talking about it
No man can prosper without his womans leave
Woman
She mightn’t be much good to boil a pot of spuds, but she’d look lovely carrying them to the table
Women would drive you mad but the asylum would be a cold place without them
A jealous woamn would make trouble between two breast bones
There’s nothing that makes the windows (eyes) open like a fine doorful of a woman
Never be in a court or acastle without a woman to make your excuse
A Tyrone woman will never buy a rabbit without a head for fear it’s a cat
A woman and child are like a goat, if they’re not in trouble they’re coming out of it
It takes a woman to outwit the devil
An inch makes a world of differnce when it’s in a womans nose
Where comes a cow, there follows a woman
Where comes a woman, there follows trouble
Let her rant and rave as long as the sun is high and as long as she’s loving, close and tender when the sun sets
