Of what does not concern you say nothing good or bad. |
Often he who does too much does too little. |
Old wine and friends improve with age. |
One is never too old to yearn |
One may have good eyes and yet see nothing |
One pair of ears would exhaust a hundred tongues. |
One who speaks fair words feeds you with an empty spoon |
One with the courage to laugh is master of the world almost as much as the person ready to die |
Only the spoon knows what is stirring in the pot. |
Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty. |
Our last garment is made without pockets. |
Proverbs bear age, and he who would do well may view himself in them as in a looking glass |
Public money is like holy water; everyone helps himself to it. |
Reason lies between the bridle and the spur. |
Silence was never written down |
