He who does not teach his son a trade teaches him to steal.
The laughter of someone pining for his beloved is like that of someone who is always crying.
It is a wise man who can laugh at his own jokes.
He who enjoys good health is rich, though he knows it not.
He who laughs too much, is hiding his grief.
Of two cowards, the one who finds the other out first has the advantage.
He who gives a monkey as a present doesn't keep hold of its tail.
If you want to know who your friends are, lie by the roadside and pretend to be drunk.
He who burns his mouth on the soup will blow on a cold fish dish.
He who buys useless things, later sells things that he needs.
He who is desperate will squeeze oil out of a grain of sand.
He who treads the path of love walks a thousand meters as if it were only one.
If every day was a sunny day, who would not wish for rain?
He who doesn't know the road holds back even the one that does.
He who does not know one thing knows another
He who has money can eat ice cream in hell.
If you always live with those who are lame, you will yourself learn to limp.
It is not the fire in the fireplace which warms the house, but the couple who get along well.
He who has learned how to steal, must learn how to hang.
A man with little learning is like the frog who thinks its pond is an ocean.
He who carries too much tenderness will become a slave.
