All affectation is bad.
Something is better than nothing.
Between friends sharp eyes.
He who leans against a good tree finds good shelter.
The ass laden with gold mounts lightly up the hill.

Well-gotten wealth is lost, but with the ill-gotten the master is lost too.
The wheel of fortune turns quicker than a mill-wheel.
That which costs us little, is valued at even less.
Where one door is shut, another opens.
He who seeks danger perishes in it.

There are no birds in last year's nest.
A sparrow in the hand is better than a vulture on the wing.
Many littles make a Much.
Patience, and shuffle the cards!
All is not gold that glitters.

He who does not intend to pay is not troubled in making his bargain.
He who buys and lies, feels it in his purse.
One misfortune calls another.
Who goes ill, ends ill.
To draw one's beard out of the mire.

Where you least expect it up starts the hare.
The reputation of the master reveals that of the servant.
The ball is drawn up by the thread.
A single swallow does not make a summer.
The dry throat can neither grunt nor sing.

Fortune favors the brave.
What hath been, hath been.
Where duennas intervene, nothing good can come of it.
Make a bridge of silver for a flying enemy.
Upon a good foundation a good building may be raised, and the best foundation in the world is money.

Diligence is the mother of good fortune.
You cannot catch trout with dry breeches.
Here come the Bulls for certain!
Time is the discoverer of all things.
With life many things are remedied.
