| Gray hairs are death's blossoms. |
| God help the rich man, let the poor man beg. |
| Friends are like fiddle strings, they must not be screwed too tight. |
| Luck has a slender anchorage. |
| A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush. |
| Two wrongs don't make a right. |
| The pen is mightier than the sword. |
| When in Rome, do as the Romans. |
| The squeaky wheel gets the grease. |
| When the going gets tough, the tough get going. |
