“Who takes the child by the hand takes the mother by the heart.”

The first drink with water, the second without water, the third like water.

He who doesn’t open his eyes when he buys must still open his purse to pay.

No revenge is more honourable than the one not taken.

Many small streams make a large river.

He that does not save pennies, will never have pounds.

They are most cheated who cheat themselves.

Children are a poor man’s wealth.

Good men must die, but death cannot kill their names.

Tomorrow is often the busiest time of the year.

He who gives to me teaches me to give.

Every person is a fool in somebody’s opinion.

All the great things in life come with some kind of problem attached.

He who is afraid of asking is ashamed of learning.

He who would leap high must take a long run.

Sail while the breeze blows, wind and tide wait for no man.

If you would be pope, you must think of nothing else.
