From an old maid, you get a faithful wife (Fun an alte moid vert a getraye vayb) From bad matches, come good children (Fun krume shidukhim kumen aroys glaykhe kinder.) From envy grows hate. (Fun kine vert sine.) Go threaten geese (Gey strashe di gens) God created a world full of little worlds God created a world full of little worlds. God gave burdens, also shoulders. God made man because he loves stories. Gold's father is dirt, yet it regards itself as noble Gold's father is dirt, yet it regards itself as noble. Golden dishes will never turn black. Golden dreams make men wake hungry. Had you gotten up early, you wouldn't have needed to stay up late. He falsifies who renders a verse just as it looks He is smart whose good luck accompanies him (Der iz klug vemes mazl geyt im nokh) He owes him the hole in the bagel (Er iz im shuldik di lokh fun beygl) He should grow like an onion with its head in the ground (Er zol vaksn vi a tsibele mit dem kop in drerd) He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good.
