Can anyone give me the original version (so, in Gaelic) of the proverb 'The best mirror is a good friend's eye.', as I would like to put it on my (multilingual) blog?

Also, how do you say 'Friendship', 'Gaelic proverb', and 'Gaelic' (as a language)?

Thank you VERY VERY much for any help you can give me!!

Greetings
Bjørn

'The best mirror is a good friend's eye = Is é an scáthán is fearr súil chara mhaith"

Friendship = Cairdeas

Gaelic Proverb = Seanfhocal Gaeilge

Gaelic = Gaeilge (or Gaeilg in Ulster, Gaelainn in Munster)
