  1. (continued from previous page)
    can't loose with your teeth.
    Where there's smoke there's fire; where there's a fire there's a house, where there's a woman there's talk.
    God is strong and he has a good mother.
    The silent mouth is melodious.
    A man without learning and wearing fine clothes is like a gold ring in a fat pig's nose.
    The fox never got a better messenger than himself.
    Hunger is good sauce.
    Do not praise and do not disparage yourself. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
    What you think worse than your death, is perhaps for your good.
    Many a good tree grew on shallow ground.
