In the hour of adversity be not without hope For crystal rain falls from black clouds
By a sweet tongue and kindness, you can drag an elephant with a hair
When the tide of misfortune moves over you, even jelly will break your teeth
A broken hand works, but not a broken heart
Who does not beat his own child will later beat his own breast
Whatever is in the heart will come up to the tongue
Tis the same to him who wears a shoe, as if the whole earth were covered with leather
There are four things every person has more of than they know; sins, debt, years, and foes.
Once I had the strength but no wisdom, now I have the wisdom but no strength
The wise man sits on the hole in his carpet
