Fortune is like a wall that falls on those who lean on it.
A child without a mother is like a fish in shallow water.

There will be a day for the oppressor when he will be crushed like garlic.
Love is like the moon: now full, now dark.
Giving gifts to the rich is like pouring water into the sea.
Debts are like children; the smaller they are the more noise they make.
Since I wronged you, I have never liked you.
