“You can throw a cat whoever you want; it always falls on its feet.”

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.

You can’t measure the whole world with your own yardstick.

You can wash your body but not your soul.

Provide for the worst; the best can take care of itself.

The wolf is not afraid of the dog, but he doesn’t like the sound of his barking.
