He who gossips to you will gossip about you	Oppression-its pasturage is unhealthy	Knowledge is in the heart, not in lines
He who asks for the heights without effort will reach them when the crow turns white	With difficulty comes ease	Take from fate what is pure and from life what suffices
A right is not lost behind which is a demander	Man proposes, God disposes	Lying is a sickness, and truth is a cure
A man (is known) by his two smallest (things):  his heart and his tongue	Don't pospone today's work till the morrow	He who watches others dies full of care
Many a word is stronger than a beating	He who wrestles with the truth is (often) pinned by it	Thinking bad of someone is the best intelligence
The best of speech is that which is brief  and to the point		Each morrow brings you whatever it contains
