A man can do no more than he can
Do not count your chickens before they are hatched
Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know
Little things please little minds
It is the height of merit in a man that his faults can be numbered
Be ever vigilant but never suspicious
Many a little makes a mickle
Man does what he can and god what he will
Marry in haste and repent in leisure
All must be as god wills
My son is my son till he gets him a wife but my daughter’s my daughter all the days of her life
Even homer sometimes nods
He who plants thorns should not expect to gather roses
It is the unexpected that always happens
Every heart has its own ache
Make not a fool of yourself to make others merry
Eagles do not catch flies
There are two sides to every question
He that has been bitten by a serpent is afraid of the rope
Grass and hay we are all mortal
Better say nothing than not to the purpose
An ill payer never wants an excuse
There is no royal road to learning
The longest day must have an end
Talk is cheap
The remedy for injuries is not to remember them
He who seeks for wealth without previous wealth is like him who carries water in a sieve
No penny no paternoster
One half of the world does not know how the other half lives
