Wisdom is like an open oven: The food is gone, but the heat remains.
Cold hands, warm feet.
Bend a carrot if you will, but a turnip will never bend.
Neither a panhandler nor a Laplander be.
Do not remove a fly from a friend's forehead with a chopstick.
Elephants never forget, but you seldom see a kangaroo with a zipper.
A dog may bark, but his legs will never grow longer.
A thrifty housewife always peels potatoes twice.
Even the most wrinkled prune has a pit.
Look not to the windmill's turning while the ant still burrows.
Sans mariage, l'amour est un souffle au fromage.
[Without marriage, love is a cheese souffle.]
