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

They are most cheated who cheat themselves.

Children are a poor man’s wealth.

Good men must die, but death cannot kill their names.

Tomorrow is often the busiest time of the year.

He who gives to me teaches me to give.

Every person is a fool in somebody’s opinion.

All the great things in life come with some kind of problem attached.

He who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning.

He who would leap high must take a long run.

Sail while the breeze blows, wind and tide wait for no man.

If you would be pope, you must think of nothing else.

Ask advice only of your equals.

A gross belly does not produce a refined mind.

Children understand more than you think, so adults shouldn’t talk too loud about their secrets when kids are around.

Take losses and wins with the same attitude as they are part of life.

If I die, I forgive you If I live, we shall see.
