Yiddish Proverbs If they give you--take; if they take from you--yell! Charge nothing and you'll get a lot of customers. Don't spit into the well--you might drink from it later. Cancer--schmancer! - as long as you're healthy. Do not worry about tomorrow, because you do not even know what may happen to you today. If one person tells you that you have ass's ears, take no notice; should two tell you so, procure a saddle for yourself. You can't chew with somebody else's teeth. If you spit upwards, you're bound to get it back in the face. You can't dance at two weddings at the same time; nor can you sit on two horses with one behind. Had you gotten up early, you wouldn't have needed to stay up late. One who has the reputation of an early riser may safely lie abed 'til noon. For dying, you always have time. When a fool is silent, he too is counted among the wise. Silence is the fence around wisdom. members.tripod.com Yiddish Proverbs He falsifies who renders a verse just as it looks. The entire world rests on the tip of the tongue. One hand washes the other. All signs are misleading. The eyes are the mirror of the soul. A dog without teeth will also attack a bone. When the light is crooked, the shadow is crooked. A childs tear rends the heavens. One person enjoys a piece of hard cheese, a second a spun out prayer chant, and a third a door to the street. The whole world is a dream, and death the interpreter. Ask about your neighbors, then buy the house. Don't be too sweet lest you be eaten up; don't be too bitter lest you be spewed out. Don't live in a town where there are no doctors. God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. He who puts up with insult invites injury. If a man is destined to drown, he will drown even in a spoonful of water. If you can't go over, you must go under. If you want your dreams to come true, don't sleep. A rich man has no need of character. What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent with your mouth. The wheel turns round. Surrounding yourself with dwarfs does not make you a giant. The soldiers fight, and the kings are heroes. It is not good to be alone, even in Paradise. If you are bitter at heart, sugar in the mouth will not help you. Many complain of their looks, but none of their brains. A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity. If we all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over. He that can't endure the bad, will not live to see the good. A half-truth is a whole lie. Bygone troubles are good to tell. If the rich could hire someone else to die for them, the poor would make a wonderful living. If you cannot bite, don't show your teeth. A snake deserves no pity. Show a dog a finger, and he wants the whole hand. Every worm has its hole. In time, even a bear can be taught to dance. Whoever needs milk, bows to the animal. Beware of still water, a still dog, and a still enemy. A bird is known by his feathers. The truth is not always what we want to hear. Praise the young and they will blossom. Too humble is half proud. If God wants people to suffer, he sends them too much understanding. oneproverb.net
