Chi muta paese, muta ventura. Who changes country changes luck.
Chi muta stato, muta fortuna. Who changes his condition changes fortune.
Chi nasce bella, nasce maritata. She who is born a beauty is born betrothed.
Chi nasce matto, non guarisce mai. Who is born a fool is never cured.
Chi nel fango casca, quanto più si dimena, più s’imbratta. When a man has fallen into the mire, the more he flounders the more he fouls himself.
Chi niente dice, mai non mente. He who says nothing never lies.
Chi niente sa, di niente dubita. He who knows nothing never doubts.
Chi non arde, non accende. Who glows not burns not.
Chi non dà fine al pensare, non dà principio al fare. Who has never done thinking never begins doing.
