Necessity can break iron.
Never approach a goat from the front, a horse from behind, and a fool from both sides.
Never try to be more foolish than the jester.
No blessing is bestowed on a secret.
No choice is an option.
Not all nice things are dear, but those that are dear are nice.
Not everyone who sits in the seat of honor is master.
Not only that the rich man is rich, but he has such good checks too.
Nothing tastes more bitter than the truth.
Once it was the parents who taught their children to talk; now the children teach their parents to keep quiet.
One God and so many enemies.
One ass calls the other a pack animal.
One chops the wood, and the other shouts "Oh, my back!"
One chops the wood, the other does the grunting.
One does not live on joy or die of sorrow.
One is certain only of death.
One old friend is better than two new ones.
One should not send a cat to deliver cream.
Over the bottle many a friend is found.
Parents can give everything but common sense.
Parents can give their children everything except good luck.
