If you love your son, make him leave home.
Serve your neighbors as you would be served yourself.
Be on your guard against a silent dog and still water.
Keep your eye on girls that don't tell their mothers everything.
If you dip your arm into the picklepot let it be up to the elbow.
If you are going to steal bells plug your ears.
If you do not travel, you will marry your own sister.
The head of your neighbor is a kingdom and his heart a wood.
Don't put money in your purse without checking it for holes.
Better to turn back than to lose your way.
Make a friend of the wolf, but keep your axe ready.
You can't keep a word of thanks in your pocket.
You can't sew buttons on your neighbor's mouth.
Your dog wishes you a long life.
Learn from your tears and you will win laughing.
If you marry money the devil lays an egg in your storeroom.
If you are going into the wood -- don't leave your axe at home.
Do not confide in your friend if he has other friends.
After shaking hands with a Greek, count your fingers.
Care for your horse as a friend; ride it as if it were an enemy.
Don't speak sweet words when your deeds are of stone.
