  1. (continued from previous page)
    A drink is better than a story
    A friend in need is a friend indeed Teach your mother how to make porridge
    It takes a smart man to mind his own business
    Learning is no load
    The world would not make a racehorse out of an ass
    Money can do a lot of harm
    Health is better than riches
    Avoid evil and do good
    A friend’s eye is a good mirror When fun is best let it be so
    The more hurry is the least speed A man without religion is like an airship without an engine
    Seek and you shall find
    What would a cat do but kill a mouse
    Slow and sure
    Never say die
    God never closed a gap but He opened another
    Suspicion haunts the guilty mind Every fool laughs at his own folly Every dog is stiff at his own door
