IRISH PROVERBS: Youth and Old Age

Praise the ripe field not the green corn.


Young people don't know what old age is, and old people forget what youth was.


The schoolhouse bell sounds bitter in youth and sweet in old age.


The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune.


As the old cock crows, the young cock learns.


The old dog for the hard road and leave the pup on the path.
