    (continued from previous page)
    laugh
    A borrowed horse has hard hoofs
    Every cat after its kind
    Cows from over the sea have long horns
    People meet, but the hills or the mountains do not meet

    When a person is up his health is drunk
    When a person is down he is trampled upon

    Strife is better than loneliness
    Hunger is good sauce
    A blind man is a bad judge of colours
    Throwing apples into the orchard
