Every man knows and is wise about another's misfortune, but he cannot even think about his own.
A girl spoils her beauty because of debauchery, and a man loses his manhood because of lewdness.
Gold is tried in fire, and man in misery.
Teaching a fool is like pouring water into a perforated bellows.
Like the bee that, flying from flower to flower, gathers honey for the hive, so I have gathered the sweetness and meaning of sayings from many books, like sea water in a bladder.
As dogs and swine do not need gold and silver, so a fool needs wise words.
When the tit will eat the eagle, when the stone will float on the water, when the pig will start barking at the squirrel, then the crazy mind will learn something.
Better to listen to the argument of the learned than to the advice of fools.
It is better to trust in God than in the prince.
You don't make the dead laugh anymore, and you don't teach the fool anymore.
With your advice, the wise man becomes even wiser.
A good wife is a crown and peace to her husband, and a bad wife - terrible sadness. The worm gnaws the tree, and the wicked wife impoverishes her husband's house. The bad wife makes the husband's whole life miserable.
Iron with iron hammers and softens. Stupidity ends with stupidity. The talent hears heavy reprimands. Even in sugar there is poison. Unity always attracts a hundred to itself, But a hundred will never approach one. If pain and suffering help the dead, Believe me, such is the will, the beneficence, the fates. And all that you make or strengthen with joy, In your long life turns into reward. The new forest does not rise, if you do not remove from the root the old logs that suffocate the shoots just planted. A lot of books I have read, the sciences know them all, But without power they are in the hour of the last parting. Align with the wise the paths of your fame, For he is more precious than any earthly power. Try to be useful to the world. You'd better be wearing the pink gingham so you can spread your perfume around the world. Where knowledge is at a great price - happiness does not sleep, And on the spot the ruler is equal to the sky. The man looks at the moon, says "Lipie!" In the well she will fall, deep, forever.
When love has caught you in its nets, suffering is hard to bear.
We are all equal in the face of death, its spear seizes all.
Better an end of glory than a life of shame.
That is why science is given to man - to strengthen his soul.
Without facts, your mind is of no use.
Evil is born in the world, and good is merciless.
If you hear bad news, it's the evil one's boundless joy!
Among enemies, the most dangerous is the one who wants to pass as a friend.
Gossip is to the ear, what wormwood is to the tongue.
It is easy for him to gather together, and black will become so greedy.
Only good is eternal, evil will not last long!
Lying is a source of endless suffering for soul and body.
The wise man faces fate, the fool only whines.
A wise man does not leave his friend, lest he lose everything.
He who has left his friend in need, will find out on his skin what the bitterness of suffering is.
For the sake of friendship, don't put your friend through too much trouble.
To the heart's call to answer from the heart, open the way love.
