What can you do with a good cow that gives a lot of milk and then kicks the bucket over?
What good is honor when you're starving?
What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul.
What use is wisdom when folly reigns?
What value is a needle without an eye?
What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent with your mouth.
What you save is, later, like something found.
What's left over from the thief is spent on the fortune-teller.
When Dame Fortune calls, offer her a chair.
When God wants to punish an idiot, He teaches them a few words of Hebrew.
When a father gives to his son, they both laugh.
When a fool has the cow by the horns, the wise man can milk it.
When a miller fights with a chimney sweep, the miller gets black and the chimney sweep gets white.
When a mother calls her child bastard, you can take her word for it.
When a poor man eats a chicken, one or the other is sick.
When a son gives to his father, they both weep.
When a thief kisses you, count your teeth.
When both parties are right, it's a bad day for "right."
When luck joins in the game, cleverness scores double.
When the ox just stumbles, they all sharpen their knives.
When the time comes for you to live, there aren't enough years.
