The best mirror is an old friend

The dogs bark is not might, but fright

A clean glove often hides a dirty hand

Whoever gossips to you will gossip about you

In the ants house the dew is the flood

A womens advice is no great thing, but he who wont take it is a fool

If charity costs no money and benevolence caused no heartache, the world would be full of philantropists

The frog tried to look as big as an elephant and burst

There are no national frontiers to learning

It is only at the tree loaded with fruit that people throw stones

Fuel is not sold in forest, nor fish on lake. All criminals turn preachers when they are under the gallows.

One flowers makes no garland. Our last garment is made without pockets.

Every beetle is the gazelle in the eye of its mother. Be just before you are generous.

He is a giant who has many dwarf about him. The glutton digs his grave with his teeth.

Trumpet in a herd of elephants; crow in the company of ; bleat in the flock of goats.

The loaded with gold still eats thistles. When fox preaches beware of geese. Gossip needs no courage.

Govern a family as would cook a small fish, very gently. One unable to dance blame the unevenness of the floor.

He that lies down with dog shall rise up with flies. It is folly to sing twice to a deaf man.

He that does you a very ill turn, will never forgive you. Zeal without knowledge is fire without light.

Zeal without prudence is frenzy. When the fountain has goneup, it comes down. Necessity turns lion into fox.
