As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far place.
There is no proverb without a grain of truth
He can cheat a fish of its skin.
A good merchant has neither money nor goods.
A net will catch more than a pole.
He took the devil's mat, but he'll pay back with his skin.
Tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are.
No one knows how the poor man dines.
