The devil has his martyrs among men.
Age and wedlock bring a man to his nightcap.
It is at home, not in public, that one washes his dirty linen.
You know a person by his nickname.
You recognize the saint by his miracle.
A slave does not choose his master.
The lion is known by the scratch of his claws.
Everyone wipes his feet on poverty.
Who mocks his chains will not be free.
The talker talks and causes death in his family.
Man loves his own mistakes.
The dog is a lion in his own house.
The fortune-teller never knows his own.
A turtle is not proud of his long neck.
A dead man's will is the mirror of his life.
No one is a good judge of his own case.
A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
A fool is not afraid to lose his mind.
The miser is his own mother-in-law.
Don't help the elephant to carry his tusks.
They asked the mule who his father was.
