“The devil knows more because he is old rather than because he is a devil.”

Wounds from the knife are healed but not those from the tongue.

Never ask god to give you anything. Ask him to put you where things are.

Great deeds are reserved for great men.

If you don’t show, you don’t sell.

Those who don’t eat, take food away.

Every chapel has its own celebration!

God helps those who rise early.

Where there was fire, ashes remain.

Better late than never.

There’s no deaf man worse than the man who doesn’t want to listen.

The throat must pay for what the tongue must say.

A cat with gloves doesn’t catch mice.

Actions speak louder than words.

One finds what one looks for.

A bent tree never has a straight trunk

The stomach comes first.
