“Patience is the art of hoping.”

Small wounds and poor friends should not be despised.

One should not bow before stupidity merely because it is old.

Work is half of health.

The nail that sticks out gets struck.

When the cat is away, the rats dance on the table.

One should not change horses in the middle of the stream.

Don’t throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water.

After rain comes sunshine.

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.
