Some that are similar in Irish: You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Is treise dúchas ná oiliúint. Nature is stronger than education. All's well that ends well Imíonn an tuirse ach fanann an tairbhe. The tiredness goes away but the positive results remain. This reminds me of another discussion we had about Carpe Diem. Some more come to mind such as Tóg an liathróid ar an gcead phreab and Is brea í an óige ach ní thagann sí faoi dhó. Caitríona

Go raibh míle maith agaibh. Má tá aon seanfhocail eile agaibh beidh suim agam iontu. |
