“The pillow is the best adviser.”

As you make your bed, so will you sleep.

If you give someone a finger he wants the whole hand.

Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself.

Evil gun powder doesn’t go away easily.

What doesn’t kill, hardens.

When it rains manna from heaven, the poor one does not have a spoon.

Let the food silence the mouth.

In the calmest waters swim the ugliest fish.

Don’t praise the day before the sun has set.

The donkey is known by his ears, the fool by his words.

Patience is the art of hoping.

After the rain the grass will grow; after wine, conversation.

The road to hell is lined with good resolutions.

One should not add oil to the fire.

A clean conscience is the best pillow.

A soft answer calms the wrath.
