If the patient dies, the doctor has killed him, but if he gets well, the saints have saved him.

I'm buying a horse and taking a wife, shut your eyes and commend yourself to God.

In prosperity no altars smoke.

Land was never lost for want of an heir.

Love is an excuse for its own faults.

No pear falls into a shut mouth.

One may have good eyes and yet see nothing.

Praise a maid in the morning, and the weather at night.

She who is born a beauty is born betrothed.

Silence was never written down.
