“Don’t think about the pig until it’s in the poke.”

Constant sunshine makes a desert.

To err is human; to forgive, divine.

No one is a prophet in one’s own homeland.

Each person is the forger of his own happiness.

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

Warned is armed.

A good man manages on his own.

That day, that sorrow.

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot.

From children, drunkards and madmen you get to hear the truth.

Devils have more than twelve apostles.

Better listen to a broken string than never having bent a bow.

An ounce of lying saves tons of explanations.

Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.

Money cannot buy happiness.

As the master sleeps, the servant dreams.
