What did your grandparents used to tell you???
God gave burdens, also shoulders. Charity and pride have different aims, yet both feed the poor. What is cheap, is dear Prayers go up and blessings come down. He that cannot ask cannot live. Seek advice but use your own common sense. God made man because he loves stories. When the light is crooked, the shadow is crooked. A wise man hears one word and understands two. What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul. If grandma had wheels, she'd be a wagon If you render a verse just as it looks, you are falsifying it. Measure the corn of others with your own bushel A liar should have a good memory Just because you can talk, it doesn't mean you're making sense He who marries for money earns it. Protest long enough that you are right, and you will be wrong. A penny is a lot of money--if you haven't got a penny. The entire world rests on the tip of the tongue. He that cannot obey cannot command. My Favorites | New additions Alphabetical order | Original Yiddish · My Favorites · New additions · Alphabetical order · Original Yiddish |
