A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.

The friend who helps me and the enemy who does me no harm, make a pair of earrings.
He who does not know what to do in his spare time is not a businessman.
He who does not regularly put on clean socks will never get used to circus life.
