“The smith’s horse and the shoemakers children are worst shod.”

Don’t let grass grow on your feet.

The most important thing is not to win, but to fight well.

Money does not grow on trees.

Appearances deceive.

You should forge while the iron is hot.

The young should be taught, the old should be honored.

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.

Politicians are like crocodiles – big jaws but no ears.

Stinginess deceives wisdom.

Speak with farmers like farmers speak, and with the educated in latin.

A lazy thief is better than a lazy servant.

Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is counted wise.

Who sits on your shoulders will try to climb on your head.

He who always knows best never learns.

Happiness comes happiness leaves.

If it tastes good it is expensive.
