He that waits for a dead man's shoes may long go barefoot. |
He who comes from afar may lie without fear of contradiction as he is sure to be listened to with the utmost attention |
He who fears to suffer, suffers from fear |
He who is anxious for the death of another has a long rope to pull |
He who is judge between two friends loses one of them |
He who is near the church is often far from God |
He who makes excuses, accuses himself |
He who takes a partner takes a master |
Hope is the dream of a soul awake. |
I know by my own pot how the others boil. |
If it can lick, it can bite |
If youth but had the knowledge and old age the strength. |
Ill seed, ill weed |
In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek. |
In the councils of a state, the question is not so much, what ought to be done? As, what can be done? |
