Use your ears to listen , use your eyes to see , but use your mouth to shut up .

A dog dies from too much walking , a fool from worrying about other's business .

Until the bitch raises her tail , the dogs don't smell her .

Don't argue with a fool , he has a rested mind .

The gentle cat scratches the most .

If two people say you're drunk , go to bed .

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions .

The fool who's not conceided is not fool enough .

The splinter laughs at the broken pot .

The village is burning and the granny is combing her hair .

The sun warms alike the good man and the bad man .

A friend in need is a friend indeed .

Next year when the lamb delivers - and - when my grandma is a virgin again (Meaning : used to suggest something that will never happen ) .

The eyes which don't see each other , forget each other .

Defend me from chickens , I'm not afraid of dogs . ( Meaning : chickens are your treacherous friends , dogs are the known enemies )

A barber learns to shave by shaving fools .

One and none is all one .

If you wish to die young , make your physician your heir .

Yesterday will not be called again .

The pleasures of the mighty are the tears of the poor .

Children and fools tell the truth .

Call the bear "uncle" until you pass the bridge .

Life is a waste if you don't live as you would wanted to .
