- (continued from previous page)Show me your company and I will tell you what you are.
Every man to his taste.
United we stand divided we fall.
Fine words butter no parsnips.
Judge the stream before you go into its rapid part.
A man lives long in his native place.
When giants fight the dwarf is king.
Necessity knows no law.
Stone walls do not a prison make or iron bars a cage.
There's no rose without its thorns.
You can't get blood from a turnip.
A friend's eye is a good mirror.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Listen to the sound of the river and you will catch fish.
God's help is nearer than the door.
A closed mouth never makes trouble.
A heavy purse makes a light heart.
What a person doesn't know won't trouble him.
Half a loaf is better than no bread.
Far away hills are green.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Work is better than talk.
Easy ways are always best.
One never loses by doing a kind act.
Killed with tea and killed without it.
Do not spend your life in idleness.
