Reminds me of the process of learning Basque, hehe!
Ardi txikia, beti bildots
"The small sheep, always a lamb."
Small people seem younger than they really are.

Egizu beti on, ez jakinarren non
"Do always the right thing, even if you don't know who benefits."
[do always good, despite not knowing where]
"Haz bien y no mires a quie'n."
Also from http://www.buber.net/Basque/Euskara/proverb.html
I found this one listed as a Spanish proverb, hmmm...:
"He who is a Basque, a good Christian and has two mules, needs nothing more."
