A man dies when he stops working.
He has sold the sun to buy a candle.
He who trusts is happy; the doubter is wise.
Beat the rogue and he will be your friend.
When God punishes a land, he deprives it leaders of wisdom.
He who talks incessantly, talks nonsense.
When a dog has money, he buys cheese.
An idiot is eloquent when he stays silent.
He who has gold is served by the devil.
The falcon does not struggle when he is caught.
He is not fat -- it is his belt that doesn't fit.
He who is accustomed to evil is offended by good.
He who strikes first, strikes twice.
The monkey never complains that he has no comb.
He who is sick will not refuse medicine.
What the child says, he has heard at home.
He who is destined for the gallows will not be drowned.
One does not look for good when he is well.
The wolf is not afraid of the sheepdog, but he is of his chain.
He who eats alone chokes alone.
He that winna be ruled by the rudder maun be ruled by the rock.
