Is cian ó ghuasacht cech faitech.

Is cian ó ghuasacht cech faitech.

(is * far * from * peril * every * cautious one)

A wary man is far from danger.

This saying is found in “Passions and Homilies” (4863). Ó Longáin’s Collection in “A Miscellany” has another, more recent version of the same advice: “Bíodh eagla ort is ní baol duit.”
