“He who has no faults is not born.”

Of all weights, old age is the heaviest.

At the end of the song comes payment.

Never trust overmuch to a new friend or an old enemy.

Speak well of your friend; of your enemy say nothing.

Anger is the mother of treachery.

The world is wide to everyone.

It is good to look homewards.

Three comforts of old age: fire, tea and tobacco.

You must crawl before walking.

Your hand is never the worse for doing its own work.

If every fool wore a crown, we should all be kings.

A nation without a language is a nation without a heart.

Repay evil with good, and hell will not claim you.

Old age is a hundred disorders.

The spring sun is worse than poison.

All waiting is long.
