It is the first STEP that is difficult. The first blow is half the battle. Cine ce pofte s te lesne crede. A cracked BELL can never sound well. Fat paunches have lean pates.
Hungry bellies have no ears.
Better BEND than break. Din omul bun, bun lucru iese. Cel mai bun, mai prost. A BIRD in the hand is worth two in the bush. Each BIRD loves to hear himself sing.
