- A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Money is hard to get and easy to spend..
The cat always purs for his own benefit.
If God's words to teach man's can not.
Cold is fame without a friend.
The madman always thinks himself wise.
Listen to the sound of the river and you'll get fish.
Great minds think alike.
The hills are green far away.
He who deserves least often gets most.
Empty vessels make most noise.
The truth is never believed from a liar.
Hunger is a good sauce.
A cat can look at a king.
It is a good horse who draws his own car.
Time and tide will not wait for anyone.
