Years and sins are always more than owned
When your neighbor's house is on fire, carry water to your own
Wealth conquered Rome after Rome had conquered the world
The pope and a peasant know more between them than the pope alone
When the ship has sunk everyone knows how she might have been saved
Let every fox take care of his own tail
Six feet of earth make us all equal
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
Give neither counsel nor salt till you are asked for it
He who lets the goat be laid on his shoulders is soon after forced to carry the cow
He who begins many things finishes but few
He who is not impatient is not in love
He who enjoys good health is rich, though he knows it not
He hauls at a long rope who expects another's death.
Keep company with good men, and you'll increase their number
It is better to wear out one's shoes than one's sheets
It is easy to frighten a bull from the window
Yielding is sometimes the best way of succeeding
To a quick question, give a slow answer
To him who is determined it remains only to act
Count your nights by stars, not shadows; count your life with smiles, not tears.
The tongue of a poet is always the last to be corrupted
The stitch is lost unless the thread be knotted
The teacher is like the candle, which lights others in consuming itself
Of two cowards, the one who finds the other out first has the advantage
Any plan is bad that cannot be changed
A man should learn to sail in all winds
It's foolish sheep that makes the wolf its confessor
The best armor is to keep out of range
If you would be rich in a year, you may be hanged in six months
By asking for the impossible we obtain the possible
He that seeks to have many friends never has any
He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten by a wolf
The dog that licks ashes is not to be trusted with flour
A gift long expected is sold, not given
The common soldier's blood makes the general great
All the honey a bee gathers during its lifetime doesn't sweeten its sting
