“You must crawl before walking.”

Better educated than wealthy.

Adversity brings knowledge and knowledge wisdom.

I was wise once: when I was born I cried.

Scatter with one hand, gather with two.

Every flock has its black sheep.

A boy is easier cheated than an old lady.

The achievement of all work is practice.

Adversity brings knowledge, and knowledge wisdom.

Man learns from the cradle to the grave.

Old feel the blows suffered when young.

Milk for a child, meat for a man, beer for the old.

Reason is the wise man’s guide, example the fool’s.

The child will grow, his clothes will not.

The best shortage is a shortage of words.

Tapping persistently breaks the stone.

The older the man, the weaker his mind.
