Ugliness with a good character is better than beauty.
Voluntary work is better than slavery.
Warm water never forgets that it was once cold.
What a prostitute earns she calls presents from her husband's friends.
What the child says, he has heard at home.
When one is in trouble, one remembers God.
When the mouse laughs at the cat, there is a hole nearby.
When you are sick you promise a goat, but when you are well again make do with a chicken.
When you cook a guinea fowl, the partridge gets a headache.
Words are sweet but they can never replace food.
You can't jump from one tree to another but you can from one man to another.
You do not need a big stick to break a cock's head.
Your own rags are better than another's gown.
