All would live long, but none would be old.
Alas, I know if I ever became truly humble, I would be proud of it.
Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you.
God helps those who help themselves.
Don't go to the doctor with every distemper, nor to the lawyer with every quarrel, nor to the pot for every thirst.
Quarrels never could last long, if on one side only lay the wrong.
