The best kaptain stands ashore. | Never look a given horse in the mouth | Barking dogs don't bite | he who wants the most out of it,will get the lid on his nose | Dirty (choosy) pigs won't get fat. |
Every spotted cow has a mark | The apple doesn't land far from the tree | It ain't the worst fruits, the wasps gnaw off. | You have to forge the iron when it's hot. | Better blow hard, then burn ones mouth. |
He who digs a pot-hole for another, will fall in himself | The devil sleeps on inoccupation | Better half a egg, then a empty shell. | Empty drums sound loudest. | He whom the shoe fits, wear it. |
The hemd is closer, then the costume. | He who is closest to the fire, warms up best. | Better one bird in hand, then 10 in the air. | Equal monk, equal hoods. | An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. |
It ain't all cooks that wear long knifes. | He who throws a ball, can expect it back. | A lot of pigs will make thin stew. | He who gets the last laugh, will get the best laugh. | |
