He who chatters with you will chatter about you.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone.
Stupidity won't kill you, but it can make you sweat.
If the fire does not burn you the smoke will blacken you.
If you add to the truth, you take something away from it.
If you do not sow in the spring you will not reap in the autumn.
If you want the daughter, you must kiss the mother.
You won't get sick if you have plenty of work.
A friend you have to buy; enemies you get for nothing.
If you can't go over, you must go under.
If the judge is against you, you should withdraw the complaint.
If you don't understand it with a wink, you certainly will with a blow.
Work and you will be strong; sit and you will smell.
If you take big paces you leave big spaces.
You will not dare mistreat the face you see in the morning.
Before you find God, you will be eaten by saints.
If you want to be a hundred you must start young.
A dog won't bite you if you are carrying a stick.
You can judge what you make by what others make.
If you close one eye, you will not hear everything.
You should have done it on the wedding night, you fool!
