“The rich man who is stingy is the worst pauper.”

When God wants to punish an idiot, He teaches them a few words of Hebrew.

Before you start up a ladder, count the rungs.

Someone who can hold on to his money is worth more than the one who earns it.

Better ruined ten times than dead once.

Better ten times ill than one time dead.

God created a world full of little worlds.

You find everything when you are spring cleaning.

If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.

Words should be weighed, not counted.

Once it was the parents who taught their children to talk; now the children teach their parents to keep quiet.

Weeping makes the heart grow lighter.

You buy yourself an enemy when you lend a man money.

The heart of a man may be compared to a sausage; no one can tell exactly what’s inside.

Many complain of their looks, but none of their brains.

Prayers go up and blessings come down.

Better an honest slap in the face than an insincere kiss.
