With time, even a bear can learn to dance
The eyes are the mirror of the soul
Life is the greatest bargain - we get it for nothing
Show a dog a finger, and he wants the whole hand
If a link is broken, the entire chain breaks.
If you are bitter at heart, sugar in the mouth will not help you
He who puts up with insult invites injury
He who comes for the inheritance is often made to pay for the funeral
He that can't endure the bad will not live to see the good
He falsifies who renders a verse just as it looks
What you save is, later, like something found
What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent with your mouth
Gold's father is dirt, yet it regards itself as noble
Surrounding yourself with dwarfs doesn't make you a giant
Surrounding yourself with dwarfs does not make you a giant
Time and words can't be recalled, even if it was only yesterday
When a thief kisses you, count your teeth
You cannot hold your head high with your hand out.
Better ask ten times than go astray once
Better an ounce of luck than a pound of gold.
Don't spit into the well - you might drink from it later
There's plenty of time to bemoan bad fortune once it arrives
The wise man, even when he holds his tongue, says more than the fool when he speaks
The soldiers fight, and the kings are heroes
Seek advice but use your own common sense
All of us are crazy in one way or another.
Don't approach a goat from the front, a horse from the back, or a fool from any side.
Don't be too sweet lest you be eaten up; don't be too bitter lest you be spewed out
Everyone is kneaded out of the same dough but not baked in the same oven
The wagon rests in winter, the sleigh in summer, the horse never.
A penny is a lot of money, if you have not got a penny.
If rich people could hire other people to die for them, the poor could make a wonderful living
If you don't want to do something, one excuse is as good as another.
If you have nothing to lose, you can try everything
If you ever need a helping hand you'll find one at the end of your arm
If you want your dreams to come true, don't sleep
If God were living on earth, people would break His windows
If God wants people to suffer, he sends them too much understanding
The girl who can't dance says the band can't play
