Proverb of the Day

Dlí na reilige gach éinne a ligean isteach, Riail na cille gan éinne a ligean amach, Cách mar imigh, níor tháinig riamh thar n-ais, Is nach trua san don duine ná tuigeann gur cruaidh é an smacht.
The law of the cemetery is to let everyone in, The rule of the graveyard is not to let anyone out, Of all that ever left, no one ever came back, A pity for anyone who doesn't understand the harshness of authority.
Explanation: One of innumerable versions of a commentary on death. Often only the first two lines are cited.
