“God helps those who rise early.”

There is no competition among lighthouses.

No matter how early you get up, you can’t make the sun rise any sooner.

The trees connect us.

Everyone makes firewood of a fallen tree.

Don’t put off today what you can do tomorrow.

The most desirable woman is always the one who belongs to someone else.

Who has a store tends to it. If not, they sell it.

Poor musicians blame their instruments.

The fishing’s good in stormy waters.

They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds.

With warning, there is no deception.

There’s no better mirror than an old friend.

Wounds from the knife are healed but not those from the tongue.

Never ask god to give you anything. Ask him to put you where things are.

Great deeds are reserved for great men.

If you don’t show, you don’t sell.
