If you are travelling in the blind man's country close one eye.
If you lie upon roses when you're young, you'll lie upon thorns when you're old.
If you want to sweep the steps clean, start at the top.
If you wish good advice, consult an old man.
In a house where two daughters live, the cat dies of thirst.
It is idle to swallow the cow and choke on the tail.
Kiss the hand that you cannot bite.
Knotty timber must have sharp wedges.
Look first at the mother and then the daughter.
Love understands all languages.
Make a pact with the devil until you have crossed the bridge.
Many heroes appear after the war.
Mice always return to their own little holes.
My chicken is good, but my neighbor's looks better.
Nothing is more changeable than time and a woman.
One short step lengthens life.
One who sits between two chairs may easily fall down.
Only fools are glad when governments change.
Only what you have in your hand is not a lie.
Out of a devil's egg there can only come a devil.
Short love, long sighs.
