    that does not succeed
    Where there are women there is talk
    Dont judge the first story till the second catches up on you
    The nearer the bone the sweeter the meat
    The jewel that is difficult to find is the most beautiful
    A friends eye is a great mirror
    One in the corner is worse than two at the table
    A good laugh and a long sleep is the best cure in the doctor's book
    When fun is at its highest it is better to leave off
    It is too late to spare when all is spent
    The person who is not strong has to be cute
    Listen to the old person whom you think has knowledge.
    Dont look at all you see
