In winter a fire is better than a muscat blossom.
In your neighbors' soup there is always one fatty morsel.
It is a real compliment that comes from an enemy.
It is a wise man who can laugh at his own jokes.
It is not from the love of God that the cat catches mice.
It takes two days to learn everything about a man; to know animals you will need more time.
It's better to fly and stay alive than to die a hero.
Learn good manners from those who don't have them.
Life is like perpetual drunkenness, the pleasure passes but the headache remains.
Listening to good advice is the way to wealth.
Little by little the wool becomes a carpet.
Luck is infatuated with the efficient.
Make bread while the oven is hot.
Maturity comes from wisdom not in the passing of years.
Necessity changes a lion into a fox.
Necessity turns lion into fox.
Never open a door that you can't lock again.
No lamp burns till morning.
Not everyone who sings a lullaby stays awake.
Of everything else the newest; of friends, the oldest.
Once a friend, always a friend.
