Yiddish Proverbs

YIDDISH PROVERBS

A blind horse makes straight for the pit
A wise man hears one word and understands two
A job is fine, but it interferes with your time
A person should live if only to satisfy one’s curiosity
“For example” is no proof
A fool grows without rain
If you can’t bite, don’t show your teeth
If you dance at every wedding, you will weep for every death
