We're definitely going to need some clarification with that one. What does it mean? Redwolf |

Ok
 it could also go something like. Don't start trouble, There won't be trouble. Don't start problems, there won't be problems. It's involves the belief you cause your own problems. Thank you again Mike |

So, in other words, if you don't start trouble, there will be no trouble? I'm clarifying this because we're going to have to paraphrase this big time. It's slang, and slang almost never translates between languages, so we have to be very clear as to what you are trying to say. Redwolf |

Slang is a problem. Its not just about the bad. It can also be used as a positive as in. Don't start anything good, there won't be anything good.
so maybe just... Don't start anything, there won't be anything. Mike |

This seems like the kind of thing that there might be an existing Irish proverb for (not that I know one...)

With respect to established proverbs, one possibility would be this one which has been cited in several threads recently:
Filleann an feall ar an bhfeallaire. Treachery returns to the treacherous. (i.e. "if you do it it will come back to haunt you") another possibility might be this proverb: Is minic a bhris béal duine a shrón. A man’s mouth often breaks his nose. (i.e. "keep your mouth shut and you won't get slugged") I'm still a learner, so be sure to get input from others, especially for tattoos.

what about, Lig dom agus ligfidh mé duit - let me be and i will let you be
"It can never die out, and when the people begin to see it fallen very low, it will rise up again like the phoenix from its own ashes"
