A barber learns to shave by shaving fools |
Adversity makes a man wise, not rich |
An ass is but an ass, though laden with gold. |
Better a mouse in the pot than no meat at all |
Do not put your spoon into the pot which does not boil for you |
The anvil fears no blows |
What the heart thinks, the tongue speaks |
When a thing is done, advice comes too late |
