He wastes his tears who weeps before the judge.
He who has the Pope for a cousin soon becomes a Cardinal.
He who takes a woman gives away his freedom.
The person who lives with cripples will soon learn to limp.
Three are powerful: the Pope, the king, and the man who has nothing.
Who depends on another man's table often dines late.
He who is dependant on others must make friends with the dog.
He who sits in the shade won't take an axe to the tree.
He who wears a smile instead of worrying is always the strongest.
The guest who seeks special attention muddies the host's tea.
He who slaps himself on the face should not cry ouch.
He who fears something gives it power over him.
He who led me in the night, will be thanked by me at daybreak.
He who wishes to barter, does not like his belongings.
He who leaves a good name does not die poor.
Never spend time with people who don't respect you.
He who boasts of his accomplishments will heap ridicule.
He who tickles himself can laugh whenever he wants.
He who doesn't risk never gets to drink champagne.
He who is frightened of a sparrow will never sow barley.
He who serves the Tsar cannot serve his people.
