“Don’t think about the pig until it’s in the poke.”

Own praise has a bad smell.

In a small house God has his corner, in a large house He has to stand in the hall.

He who enters the game must endure it.

What you do not know does not hurt you.

The day we fear hastens toward us, the day we long for creeps.

Forbidden fruit always tastes the best.

All aren’t gold that glimmers.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

What breaks in a moment may take years to mend.

All good things are three.

To defend a wrong, is to wrong do anew.

An accident rarely comes alone.

A hundred tailors, a hundred millers, and a hundred weavers make three hundred thieves.

Attack is the best defense.

Easier hides a wise man his wisdom than a fool his madness.

Don’t let your sorrow come higher than your knees.
