“Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things will be yours.”

Self-praise stinks.

It’s a small world.

Eyes that do not cry, do not see.

Small wounds and poor friends should not be despised.

One should not bow before stupidity merely because it is old.

Work is half of health.

The nail that sticks out gets struck.

When the cat is away, the rats dance on the table.

One should not change horses in the middle of the stream.

Don’t throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water.

After rain comes sunshine.

They who want to sing will always find a song.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

In darkness all cats are grey.

You have to correct your mouth according to your lunch pack.

Love is like dew that falls on both nettles and lilies.
