“One should not add oil to the fire.”

The grass is always greener on the other side.

Even a blind hen can find a grain.

Revenge is sweet.

Choose your bedfellows by day.

It is fairer to listen to the string that broke than to never strain a bow.

Poor memory is better than bad memories.

A poor craftsman blames his tools.

What one’s head lacks one has to have in one’s legs.

Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

A place for each thing and each thing in its place

He who lives shall see.

Small pots have ears too.

The later in the evening, the more beautiful the people.

Burnt child shuns fire.

One time, no time – two times, a habit.

God gives every bird his worm, but he does not throw it into the nest.
