Who is not ashamed of his sins, sins double.
Nobody can rest in his own shadow.
For an ant to have wings would be his undoing.
The earth is a host who kills his guests.
The spendthrift beats his money as if it were a carpet.
Each has his own way of moving.
The bad calligrapher is choosy about his brushes.
Buffaloes are held by ropes, man by his words.
He is not fat -- it is his belt that doesn't fit.
Every peddler praises his own needles.
A sleeping fox counts chicken in his dreams.
Every sandpiper praises his own swamp.
Let everyone pick his own nose.
No one is hanged who has money in his pocket.
The wolf is not afraid of the sheepdog, but he is of his chain.
When the leopard is away, his cubs are eaten.
None but a mule denies his family.
The Devil's a busy bishop in his own diocese.
The fellow roasts his fish in the flames of a fire.
Every man to his trade.
Love rules his kingdom without a sword.
