Broken friendship may be soldered but can never be made sound.

An hour of play discovers more than a year of conversation.

A well-formed figure needs no cloak.

A goose, a woman, and a goat, are bad things lean.

A hungry wolf is not at rest.

A good year is determined by its spring.

A good cock was never fat.

A contented ass enjoys a long life.

A beard lathered is half shaved.

A barking dog was never a good hunter.

A bad knife cuts one's finger instead of the stick.
