“What is play to the cat is death to the mouse.”

Ambition and revenge are always hungry.

What you are is God’s gift to you what you do with yourself is your gift to God.

What is sweet in the mouth is not always good in the stomach.

When it rains on the priest, it dribbles on the bellringer. another: You can tell a louse by its walk.

If your house is on fire, warm yourself by it.

The road to a friend’s house is never long.

No one gets into trouble without his own help.

Don’t throw away dirty water before you have more clean water.

A small fire that warms you, is better than a large one that burns you.

If three people say you are an ass, put on a bridle.

Age may wrinkle the face, but lack of enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

When love is not madness, it is not love.

If you want to be respected, you must respect yourself.

Woe to the house where the hen crows and the rooster is still.

Faults are thick where love is thin.

Bad is never good until worse happens.
