“You can’t teach old dogs to sit.”

Stinginess deceives wisdom.

Speak with farmers like farmers speak, and with the educated in latin.

A lazy thief is better than a lazy servant.

Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is counted wise.

Who sits on your shoulders will try to climb on your head.

He who always knows best never learns.

Happiness comes happiness leaves.

If it tastes good it is expensive.

Reality surpasses the poem.

Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow.

No trees grow to the sky.

Two wrongs do not make a right.

Everyone knows the monkey, but the monkey knows no one.

You should not judge a dog by its fur.

Much wants more.

A piece of bread in your pocket is better than a feather in your hat.
