A wheel that turns gathers no rust.
A woman prefers a man without money to money without a man.
A young man should not marry yet, an old man not at all.
Alexander the Great was not very tall.
An old cat likes young mice.
An old enemy never becomes a friend.
Before you can score you must first have a goal.
Better a drop of wisdom than an ocean of gold.
Better a sick body than an ignorant mind.
Better the first of its kind than the last.
Birth, ancestry, and that which you yourself have not achieved can hardly be called your own.
Character is habit long continued.
Curses are like chickens; they come home to roost.
Deeds are fruits, words are only leaves.
Do not compare a fly with an elephant.
Do not lean on a worm-eaten staff.
Don't forget to distrust.
Empty barrels and insignificant people always make the most noise.
Envy accomplishes nothing.
Even from a foe a man may learn wisdom.
Every country is a fatherland.
