Looking through other threads I found this:
Dhá thrian den chath an misneach. "Two thirds of the battle is courage."

can anyone confirm this translation please??? I like this!


Yes, it's an Irish proverb. Nice and succinct. I like it too.

2) (a) Síolraíonn an misneach/ an mheanma as an gcruatan.

2) (b) Musclaíonn an cruatan an meanma/ misneach ionat.

Literally:

(a) strength of mind/ character springs from hardship

(b) hardship stirs the strength of mind/ character within you.

I also still want to know if this is two sayings or four????


it's two alternative versions, (a) and (b). The slash indicates a choice between "an misneach" and "an mheanma".
