What did your grandparents used to tell you???
We are all schlemiels. Talk less, do more Charity covers a multitude of sins. The complete fool is half prophet. A dog without teeth will also attack a bone. There's plenty of time to bemoan bad fortune once it arrives Your pot broken seems better than my whole one. Don't throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water. He who puts up with insult invites injury. Death is the only certainty A rich man who is stingy is the worst pauper. Sleep faster, we need the pillows. If one man calls you a donkey, ignore him. If two men call you a donkey, think about it. If three men call you a donkey, buy a saddle Your neighbor's apples are the sweetest. Talking comes by nature, silence by wisdom. Don't rub your belly when the little fish is still in the pond. Flattery makes friends and truth makes enemies. The whole world is one town Not everyone who sits in the seat of honor is master. Talk too much and you talk about yourself. My Favorites | New additions Alphabetical order | Original Yiddish · My Favorites · New additions · Alphabetical order · Original Yiddish |
