Small tree trunks can make the cart turn over.
So long as you don't step on a snail's tail, he won't get up and bite you.
Take an ox by its horns, a man by his heart.
The anvil fears no blows.
The best parents are both purses for money and sacks for the corn.
The devil gives even rich men presents.
The eagle does not catch flies.
The goat must browse where she is tied.
The hen that cackles in the evening lays no eggs in the morning.
The lamp is not burning for those asleep.
The lion won't turn on a barking puppy.
The looking glass is the enemy of ugly women.
The luck of idle men sits next to them.
The man of many trades begs his bread on Sunday.
The man who takes legal action often loses an ox to win a cat.
The needle is small, but it sews expensive garments.
The rich man makes mistakes and the poor men get the blame.
The snake bites the tamer first.
The thief who isn't caught is an honest salesman.
The tongue is not steel, yet it cuts.
The tree makes shafts for axes.
