Here is a delightful collection of proverbs - centuries-old folk wisdom from all parts of Ireland - in Irish and English. Each proverb is illustrated by a specially commissioned black-and-white photograph by emerging Kerry photographer Lily Lenihan.

Proverbs include:
If you get a loaf of bread you won't be short of a knife.
An té a bhfuil buiín aine, gheobhaidh sé scian a ghearrfaidh é.

Some day your ship will come in.
Beidh lao éigin ag bó éigin.

Better an egg today than roast ox tomorrow.
Is fearr ubh inniu ná damh amárach.

No use crying over spilled milk.
Níl aon fháil ar an mbainne a doirtear.

If you drink wine today, you will be drinking water tomorrow.
Fíon inniu, uisce amárach.
