If you want to know what god thinks of money, look at the people he gives it to.
The innkeeper loves the drunkard, but not for a son-in-law.
Every worm has its hole.
Better the best of the worst than the worst of the best.
The pen wounds deeper than an arrow.
Hope for miracles, but don't rely on one.
Measure the corn of others with your own bushel.
Provide for the worst; the best can take care of itself.
If we all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over.
True poverty does not come from god.
What you save is, later, like something found.
Protest long enough that you are right, and you will be wrong.
A farmer should not ride the king's horse.
A rich mouthful, a heavy groan.
Shrouds are made without pockets.
A man is not honest simply because he never had a chance to steal.
A man too good for the world is no good for his wife.
A nation's treasure is its scholars.
A rich man's foolish sayings pass for wise ones.
A thief's end is hanging.
All of us are crazy in one way or another.
All signs are misleading.
As the fat man gets thinner, the thin one is already dead.
As the sheep are shorn, the lambs shiver.
Better a jew without a beard than a beard without a jew.
Better a slap from a wise man than a kiss from a fool.
Better an ounce of luck than a pound of gold.
Better ask ten times than go astray once.
Better ten times ill than one time dead.
