Courtesy never offended anybody.
Women never praise without gossiping.
The watched chicken never lays.
Lies never pay the toll.
Better late than never.
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.
