Whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad.
Why buy a cow when milk is so cheap?
Why keep a dog and bark yourself?
Wide will wear, but tight will tear.
With someone holding nothing but trumps it is impossible to play cards.
Write down the advice of him who loves you, though you like it not at present.
You are only worth has much as you have.
You can have too much of a good thing.
You can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink.
You can often find in rivers what you cannot find in oceans.
You can only lean against that which resists.
You can't get blood out of a stone.
You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.
You can't take it with you when you go.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
You can't tell a book by its cover.
You cannot be lost on a road that is straight.
You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.
You cannot run with the hare and hunt with the hounds.
You must be fully prepared to lose a great deal in order to make a great deal.
You'll repent if you marry, and repent if you don't.
