There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

After-wit is dear bought.

Better a poor horse than an empty stall.

An upstart is a sparrow eager to marry a hornbill.

Let the ignorant learn, and the learned delight in refreshing the memory.

Keep up with the times, don’t stay in the dark.

The tip of a finger cannot be touched by itself.

Don’t live in a town where there are no doctors.

The best of mankind is a farmer; the best food is fruit.

No rose without a thorn.

Little enemies and little wounds must not be despised.

One flower will not make a garland.

I wish that he would sink as deep in the ground as a hare can run in ten years.

He who says what he likes shall hear what he does not like.

A dog is a dog whatever his colour.

When a fox is in his hole, the smoke fetches him out.

Stolen fruit is sweet.

The scent of a rose will always stay on the hand of the giver.

Sometimes silence is the proper answer.
