Fearthain don lao agus grian don tsearrach; uisce don gé agus déirc don bhacach

Fearthain don lao agus grian don tsearrach; uisce don gé agus déirc don bhacach

Rain to the calf and sun to the foal; water to the goose and alms to the beggar(man).

Note: Every one of God’s creatures has its needs. Although their requirements may differ, it is fitting that the needs of each be fulfilled. On another level, this seanfhocal is a reminder that no one is self-sufficient; and we all lack something to make us whole. It is up to the human community to satisfy the needs of its members.
