Work as though you will live a hundred years; think as though you will die tomorrow
When the sea turned into honey, the poor man lost his spoon
From walking - something; from sitting - nothing
God promises a safe landing but not a calm passage.
You are permitted, in time of great danger, to walk with the devil until you have crossed the bridge
Dip your tongue in wisdom, then give counsel
There would be miracles if youth could know and age could do
Seize opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind
If you call one wolf, you invite the pack
If you let everyone walk over you, you become a carpet
If you wish to drown, do not torture yourself with shallow water
