TRANSLATION
Más vale tarde que nunca Ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente. El que mucho abarca, poco aprieta. No le pidas peras a un olmo. Camarón que se duerme, se lo lleva la corriente. Dime con quién andas y te diré quién eres. No todo lo que brilla es oro. Más vale pájaro en mano que cientos volando. Te comió la lengua el gato. Matar dos pájaros de un tiro.
