“Blaming your faults on your nature does not change the nature of your faults.”

Happy is the woman whose husband does not speak to her.

Poverty destroys all virtues.

A house without children is a graveyard.

A dog always bites under the knee.

Never stand in front of a judge or behind a donkey.

It is better to be blind than to see things from only one point of view.

No one was ever lost on a straight road.

He who does not climb, will not fall either.

To the mediocre, mediocrity appears great.

We can’t change the direction of the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

A tree starts with a seed.

It is little use to dig a well after the house has caught fire.

Pull someone by the ears and his head will follow.

A guilty conscience is a hidden enemy.

Alertness and courage are life’s shields.

Don’t delay today’s work until tomorrow.
