May the man be damned and never grow fat, who wears two faces under one hat.

Debts are like children; the smaller they are the more noise they make.

Better is the smoke of my own house than the fire of another's.

A pig bought on credit grunts all year long.

Laws, like the spider's web catch the fly and let the hawk go free.

A good companion makes good company.

Life without a friend is like a death without a witness.

Envy follows worth as a shadow follows a body.

A kiss without a mustache is like an egg without salt.

A man who prides himself on his ancestry is like the potato plant, the best part of which is underground.
