When the snake is old, the frog will tease him.
Where the camel is sold for a cent, the ass is worthless.
While yearning for excess we lose the necessities.
Who has ever seen tomorrow?
Who has not had a taste longs to do so, but for whom has tasted then the longing is a hundred times more.
Who sows barley cannot reap wheat.
Whoever can walk on water is probably made of straw.
Whoever has no children has no light in his eyes.

Women are just like cats -- they always land on their feet.
Work is twice done by the man in a hurry.
You can close the city gates but not the mouths of men.
You can't escape death and guests.
You can't pick up two melons with one hand.
You cannot applaud with one hand.
You cannot hang everything on one nail.
You don't put a wooden pot on the fire twice.
You only appreciate your father the day you become a father yourself.
