The more you get the more you want.
When the wine is in, the wit is out.
Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.
When Adam delved and Even span, who was then the gentleman?
He who sups with the Devil should have a long spoon.
A fool may give a wise man counsel.
God never sends mouths but He sends meat.
We must learn to walk before we can run.
A reed before the wind lives on, while mighty oaks do fall.
The nearer the church, the farther from God.
The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat.
The sun loses nothing by shining into a puddle.
The pitcher will go to the well once too often.
Everyone stretches his legs according to the length of his coverlet.
In vain the net is spread in the sight of the bird.
