Until spring comes, nightingales do not sing.
Those who counsel do not pay.
Grapes do not grow in a willow tree.
Many words do not fill a basket.
Fortune and flowers do not last forever.
Insects do not nest in a busy door-hinge.
Never let a boy do a man's work.
Do not fall before you are pushed.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
The work will teach you how to do it.
Do it today! Tomorrow it might be forbidden.
Do not let grass grow on the path of friendship.
The wise do as much as they should, not as much as they can.
Fire and gunpowder do not sleep together.
Do not blame the sun for the darkness of the night.
Words do not fill your purse.
If you've nothing to do, dig a spinster's grave.
Horns do not grow before the head.
Money kills more than do weapons.
Do not cut the bough you are sitting on.
A judge and a stomach do their asking in silence.
