My great grandmother had a whole book of Jewish sayings, it must be somewhere at my mom... do you need in Hebrew only or Ladino goes?

I have a "Shalom Y'all" door plaque. (Have also seen "Chai Y'all".) How about mitzvah gedolah lihyos b'simcha tamid? Rebbe Nachman had many wonderful quotes.

I'm not sure I understand. You want Hebrew and Jewish? or any Jewish is fine?

preferably in hebrew, but jewish sayings, along the lines of gamzu and gam ze ya'avor.
I want to put in english and hebrew.

thanks!

I once saw something in Hebrew, something like "Even the hardest hour is only 60 minutes", but don't remember the exact wording (my Hebrew is awful).

החפזון מהשטן - סע לאט
איזהו עשיר? השמח בחלקו
יגעת ומצאת - תאמין
אל תסתכל בקנקן אלא מה שיש בתוכו
טוב שם טוב משמן טוב
מעט מהאור דוחה הרבה מן החושך
סוף מעשה במחשבה תחילה
יהי שלום בחילך שלווה בארמנותיך
