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

Who dances at the wedding, weeps at the funeral.

The rich man who is stingy is the worst pauper.

What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul.

You do not fall because you are weak; you fall because you think you are strong.

It’s good to hope, it’s the waiting that spoils it.

When luck joins in the game, cleverness scores double.

Better a thief for a neighbor than an overzealous rabbi.

The best horse needs a whip, intelligent men need advice, and devout women need a man.

The soldiers fight, and the kings are heroes.

Better to hear curses than to be pitied.

Let it be worse, so long as it’s a change.

When you have left a country, you have left everyone.

Confidence is half of victory.

Some people are electrifying; they light up a room when they leave.

What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul.

Mothers-in-law are fine so long as they are deaf and blind.
