If you wish to drown, do not torture yourself with shallow water

If you let everyone walk over you, you become a carpet

If you call one wolf, you invite the pack

Seize opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind

There would be miracles if youth could know and age could do

Dip your tongue in wisdom, then give counsel

You are permitted, in time of great danger, to walk with the devil until you have crossed the bridge

God promises a safe landing but not a calm passage.

From walking - something; from sitting - nothing

When the sea turned into honey, the poor man lost his spoon
