There is many a good tune played on an old fiddle.
~ Old Saying
He who drinks a little too much drinks much too much.
They talk of my drinking but never my thirst.
Danger and delight grow on one stalk .
He who has daughters is always a shepherd.
A fool's head never whitens.
Men trip not on mountains they stumble on stones.
There are bearded fools.
When you live next to the cemetery you cannot weep for everyone.
Every time history repeats itself the price goes up.
What is the use of running when you are on the wrong road?
The French have a passion for revolution but an abhorrence of change.
Self-praise is no recommendation.
Every path has its puddle.
In the ant's house the dew is a flood.
An indecent mind is a perpetual feast.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking repentance.
If you can't bite don't show your teeth.
There is no crisis to which academics will not respond with a seminar.
