There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it.

The mother who spoils her child, fattens a serpent.

Beat your child once a day. If you don’t know why, he does.

Live with wolves, and you learn to howl.

Who takes the child by the hand takes the mother by the heart.

What children say, they have heard at home.

Children are a poor man’s wealth.

It takes a whole village to raise a child.

Give to a pig when it grunts and a child when it cries, and you will have a fine pig and a bad child.

The unwise man and the forweaned (spoiled) child have but one law.
