“Do good and then do it again.”

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.

To return to my trees – to relax and unwind, to calm your mind.

Things turn sour when you play with fire.

Let not your tongue cut your throat.

Better my own cottage than the palace of another.

Death considers not the fairest forehead.

Speak well of your friend, of your enemy say nothing.

Of all weights, old age is the heaviest.

At the end of the song comes payment.

Never trust overmuch to a new friend or an old enemy.

Speak well of your friend; of your enemy say nothing.

Anger is the mother of treachery.

The world is wide to everyone.
