Gypsy proverbs

Sayings of Gypsy origin He who willingly gives you a finger will also give you the whole hand. The dog that trots about finds a bone. Burn your enemies caravan and you burn you future. Bad people don't sing. The stick that breaks the window does not kill a dog. As the crow is made for stewing the dog is made for kicking. Go in God's name--so you ride no witches. When you are given, eat, when you are beaten, run away. A lonely old crow, see someone you know Fly to your right, sure to be right And if you are hawking, money before night. There are such things as false truths and honest lies. It is better to be the head of a mouse than the tail of a lion. Everybody sees only his own dish. In the village without dogs the farmers walk without sticks. The gypsy church was made of pork and the dogs ate it. Beauty cannot be eaten with a spoon. You cannot stop a whore, not even with a hundred horses. You don't kill a gypsy by cutting him in ten pie...
