Quotes: Irish Proverbs for St. Patrick's Day

You've got to do your own growing,
      no matter how tall your grandfather was.

A little of anything isn't worth a pin;
      but a wee bit of sense is worth a lot

Don't say everything you want to say
      lest you hear something you would not like to hear

If you don't want flour on your shoes, don't go into the mill.
 

Have a great week... (See last week)
