The Tsar has three hands but only one ear.
The bear dances but the tamer collects the money.

The boss is always right.
The calmer you go, the further along you will be.
The castle gates will always open for gold-laden donkeys.
The cat with cream on her whiskers should have a good excuse ready.
The coat is quite new, only the holes are old.
The dog learns to swim when the water reaches his ears.
The first pancake is always a failure.
The future is for those who know how to wait.
The hammer shatters glass but forges steel.
The hammer shatters glass but hardens steel.
The hearth in our house is warmer than our neighbor's.
