A thief is a thief, whether he steals a diamond or a cucumber.
He who does not climb, will not fall either.
He who doesn't go to war roars like a lion.
He who wants the rose must respect the thorn.
He who serves the public has a sorry master.
He who cannot sleep can still dream.
He who is too servile ruins his back.
Man longs to see that which he is afraid to see.
He who is unable to dance blames it in the stony yard.
He who is unable to dance says the yard is stony.
If a pedestrian sees a horse he will want to ride it.
He who wants pearls has to dive into the sea.
He who goes to bed hungry dreams of pancakes.
He who has a dog need not bark himself.
Confide a secret to a dumb man and he will speak.
You know a bird from the way he flies.
He who accepts favors, pawns his freedom.
He who asks the fewest favors is the best received.
He who knows how to live, knows enough.
He who never has enough, never has anything.
When the Spaniard sings he is either stupid or without money.
