Choose neither a woman nor linen by candlelight.
As proud as a peacock.
Better give a penny then lend twenty.
As we live, so we learn.
A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
As the big hound is, so will the pup be.
Both your friend and your enemy think you will never die.
Blood is thicker than water
Black as hell, strong as death, sweet as love. (About coffee.)
