What did your grandparents used to tell you???
A fault-finder complains even that the bride is too pretty. 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. God created a world full of little worlds 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. Love tastes sweet, but only with bread. When fortune calls, offer her a chair. Times is the best healer He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good. Money doesn't grow on trees. A man is not old until his regrets take the place of his dreams. A schlemiel is a waiter who spills hot soup, and the schlimazel is the one who gets it in his lap. One of our favorites! God created a world full of little worlds. Every seller praises his wares. One person enjoys a piece of hard cheese, a second a spun out prayer chant, and a third a door to the street. With time, even a bear can learn to dance. My Favorites | New additions Alphabetical order | Original Yiddish · My Favorites · New additions · Alphabetical order · Original Yiddish |
