“Do not weep over spilled milk.”

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.

A man without money is like a boat without sails.

It’s the thought that counts.

Don’t saw off the branch you’re sitting on.

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.
