Hold a true friend with both your hands

Discretion is the greater part of valo

Advice when most needed is least heeded

Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord

A close friend can become a close enemy

Proverbs are the draft horses of wisdom

When sleeping women wake mountains move

The silent man is the best to listen to

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailo

Many a time a man s mouth broke his nose

Death always comes too early or too late

Always leave a little room for a mistake

Better ask ten times than go astray once

An ass in Germany is a professor in Rome

A trade not properly learned is an enemy
