There's no place like home

Níl aon tinteán mar do thinteán féin. Probably the most famous of all Irish proverbs, literally meaning 'there's no hearth like your own hearth', i.e. There's no place like home.

My father, who was a fluent Irish, liked to say "Níl aon tóin tinn mar do thóin tinn féin." There's no sore bum like your own sore bum!

Aithníonn cíaróg cíaróg eile. One beetle recognises another beetle - it takes one to know one.
