“Dig the well before you are thirsty.”

The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.

All that shines is not silver.

The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives.

Homely in the cradle, pretty at the table.

Christmas comes, but once a year is enough.

It is better to tell your money where to go than to ask where it went.

Your sins will find you out.

The fool wanders; the wise man travels.

A diamond daughter turns to glass as a wife.

The first attempt is the most difficult.

A drunk man will sober up, but a damn fool never.

Here today, gone tomorrow.

Your ignorance is your worst enemy.

The face is the index of the mind, but appearances are deceitful.

The fates lead the willing man; an unwilling man they drag.

Choose your friends like your books, few but choice.
