---

In the ocean, one does not need to sow water.

He who does not shave you does not cut you.

A thief is always under suspicion.

To be without a friend is to be poor, indeed.

A coward is full of precaution.

Poverty is slavery.

Wisdom does not come overnight.

Do not walk into a snake-pit with your eyes open.

Water and milk do not mix.

One cannot count on riches.

A brother is like one's shoulder.

Where I make a living, there is my home.
