Mav, I like the one in your signature even better!
Irish proverbs
Never bolt your door with a boiled carrot. Questioning is the door of knowledge. The river is no wider from this side than the other. Seldom is the last of anything better than the first. God is good but don’t dance in a currach. A man without dinner— two for supper. One must pay health its tithe. Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. You may as well give cherries to a pig as advice to a fool. A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse. It’s difficult to choose between two blind goats. Even a tin knocker will shine on a dirty door. It’s no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking. It’s no use boiling your cabbage twice. Never sell a hen on a wet day. What I am afraid to hear I’d better say first myself. If you move old furniture it may fall to bits. Never dread the winter till the snow is on the blanket. The man who pays the piper calls the tune. Time and patience would bring a snail to America. A good retreat is better than a bad stand. The man with a cow doesn’t need a scythe. There’s no point in keeping a dog if you are going to do your own barking.

Asteroids and hemmoroids. Aren't these things named backwards?
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for
and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre
and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
