“The best shortage is a shortage of words.”

He who has no faults is not born.

The seed of all evil is laziness.

Everything that is yellow is not gold.

The strength of the old is their ready counsel.

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.
