Women never praise without gossiping.
The watched chicken never lays.
Lies never pay the toll.
Alms never make poor.
Bad merchandise is never cheap.
Rent and taxes never sleep.
A physician's neighbor is never a doctor.
A cemetery never refuses a corpse.
Never give a child a sword.
A starving crocodile is never pleasant.
It is never later than midnight.
A friendly person is never a good-for-nothing.
Only the mountains never meet.
A bachelor is never sent as a go-between.
A girl never grows into a lady.
Bread and salt never quarrel.
There never came ill of good advisement.
Thieves never steal bells.
Never find fault with the absent.
A constant guest is never welcome.
A tale never loses in the telling.
