Three candles that illumine every darkness:
truth, nature, knowledge.
Three things that run swiftest:
a stream of fire, a stream of water, and a stream of falsehood.
The three best friends and the three worst enemies:
fire, wind, and water.

Irish Proverbs ~ The Irish Triad
The triad originated as a simple memory device. Before the Irish learned to read and write, laws, history, and lessons were often taught and memorized in this form.http://www.compassrose.org/folklore/irish/Irish-Proverbs/irish-triad.html
