As soon as stones can swim, leaves will sink.
One joy can drive away a hundred sorrows.
He who has money can eat sherbet in hell.
A good mule can be sold in his own territory.
A good tree can lodge ten thousand birds.
An inflated idea can burst the bubble of your happiness.
You can only be honest if you are well fed.
He who boasts much can do little.
When the hyena drinks, the dog can only look on.
Great things can best be said in silence.
Don't look for a sea when you can drown in a puddle.
No one can take two skins from one ox.
One can get sick of cake, but never of bread.
No man can perfectly empty a pot with a ladle.
Never marry for money. You can borrow it cheaper.
You can do nothing about governments and winter.
If you are not good for yourself, how can you be good for others?
If you destroy a bridge, be sure you can swim.
Over no home can the sign be hung: There is no trouble here.
You can only lean against that which resists.
You can proclaim the truth also in a friendly way.
