I need not fear my enemies because the most they can do is attack me. I need not fear my friends because the most they can do is betray me. But I have much to fear from people who are indifferent.
Idleness is the mother of all vices.
If everyone gives one thread, the poor person will have a shirt
If the child does not cry, the mother knows not its wants
If the pocket is empty, the judge is deaf.
If the thunder is not loud, the peasant forgets to cross himself.
If you are a host to your guest, be a host to his dog also
If you do not strike back at him who hits you, there is no way for him to find out whether you also have hands
If you go to war pray once; if you go on a sea journey pray twice; but pray three times if you are going to be married
