“One does not burn a blanket to get rid of a flea.”

A pound is sixteen ounces wherever you go.

A good companion shortens the longest road.

If skill could be gained by watching, every dog would become a butcher.

Two captains sink a ship.

He that conceals his grief finds no remedy for it

A person does not seek luck; luck seeks the person

If you are an anvil, be patient; if you are a hammer, be strong.

Who seeks a faultless friend remains friendless.

Patience is bitter, but it bears sweet fruit.

A knife-wound heals, but a tongue wound festers.

Beauty Passes, wisdom remains.

Thorns and roses grow on the same tree.

An open mouth remains no hungry.

A thousand friends are too few; one enemy is one too many.

A twig is bent while it is green.

Listen a hundred times; ponder a thousand times; speak once.
