“The best horse needs a whip, intelligent men need advice, and devout women need a man.”

The heart of a man may be compared to a sausage; no one can tell exactly what’s inside.

Many complain of their looks, but none of their brains.

Prayers go up and blessings come down.

Better an honest slap in the face than an insincere kiss.

You can’t measure the whole world with your own yardstick.

You can wash your body but not your soul.

Provide for the worst; the best can take care of itself.

The wolf is not afraid of the dog, but he doesn’t like the sound of his barking.

When the ox just stumbles, they all sharpen their knives.

He who is aware of his folly is wise.

She who wants to marry her stepfather regrets it in bed.

In life, each of us must sometimes play the fool.

Better an ounce of luck than a pound of gold.

You can make the dream bigger than the night.

When a thief kisses you, count your teeth.

To be rich is not everything, but it certainly helps.
