Life is half spent before one knows what life is.
Life is like an onion, which one peels crying.
Loaning money causes loss of memory.
Long absence changes friends.
Love does wonders, but money makes marriages.
Love makes the time pass.
Love makes time pass away and time makes love pass away.
Love teaches even asses to dance.
Loving with the eyes only, has blinded a lot of fools.
Man is preceded by forest and followed by desert.
Man is the only mammal that can be skinned more than once.
Many enter the wood without an axe.
Marriage is the sunset of love.
Marriage teaches you to live alone.
Marriages sealed with rings end with drawn knives.
Mean fathers, wasteful sons.
Men count up the faults of those who keep them waiting.
Men eat fish -- thanks to the sauce.
Men make laws; women make morals.
Men will only throw stones at trees that are laden with fruit.
Misfortunes are, in morals, what bitters are in medicine: each is at first disagreeable; but as the bitters act as corroborants to the stomach, so adversity chastens and ameliorates the disposition.
