“Željezo se kuje dok je vruće.” (If you have an opportunity to do something, do it before the opportunity expires.)

“Čovjek sanja, Bog određuje.”

“Nevolja je najbolja škola.” (=You create things you need.) When the fan belt on Linda’s car broke in the middle of the desert, Linda used her stockings as a replacement. Necessity is the mother of invention.

“Dobro je kad nema vijesti.” (If we are waiting for news about someone, it´s probably good if we hear nothing because `bad news´ would arrive quickly.)

“Tko ne riskira, ne profitira.” (You have to try or you won´t get anything. )

“Koga zmija ugrize i guštera se boji.”

riječ je moćnija od mača

“Počisti prvo ispred svojih vrata pa gledaj u moje dvoriste .” Only those who are blameless should blame others. Do not criticize others if you have similar weaknesses yourself.

Tiha voda brege dere.

-željezo se kuje dok je vruće

Pošalji lopova da uhvati lopova. (Samo se slični ljudi dobro poznaju.)

“Susjedova trava je uvijek zelenija.” (You always think that other people´s lives are better than yours. )

Što više, to bolje.
