The reddest apple has a worm in it. What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent with your mouth When the light is crooked, the shadow is crooked If things are not as you wish, wish them as they are. The schlemiel lands on his back and bruises his nose. A table is not blessed if it has fed no scholars. What you save is, later, like something found. If a link is broken, the whole chain breaks. A golden key will open every lock. Make sure to send a lazy man for the Angel of Death.
