“If you want a well, only dig in one place.”

It is hard to get angry at a smiling face.

Where there are no tigers, a wild cat is very self-important.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

The frog forgets that he was once a tadpole.

One moment is worth more than a thousand gold pieces.

Going day is the fair day.

A great river does not refuse any small streams.

Tall branches are apt to be broken.

Things are never where you want them.

A loaf of bread is better than the song of many birds.

Cross even a stone bridge after you’ve tested it.

There is a proper order for everything.

It is like a blind man describing an elephant.

The new replaces the old.

Starting is half the task.

There is no use in crying over spilled milk.
