If your guest becomes a cook, your larder will soon be empty.
In our eyes the neighbor's chicken is a goose.
In the company of the blind, close your eyes.
It matters less to a person where they are born than where they can live.
Judge the linen by the hem, the girl by the mother.
Keep the tongue in your mouth a prisoner.
Listen with both ears, but speak with only one tongue.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.
Man is his own mirror.
Measure a thousand times and cut once.
Measure a thousand times, cut once.
Men make the earth black from green leaves.
Never become a teacher where you yourself were a pupil.
No fat mouse in a widow's house.
No flock without dog and shepherd.
No matter how far down a wrong road you are, turn back.
No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back.
None is so rich as that he can throw away a friend.
Oh, misfortune, I forgive you when you come alone.
One armpit cannot hold two watermelons.
One arrow does not bring down two birds.
