What is sweet in the mouth is not always good in the stomach.

When it rains on the priest, it dribbles on the bellringer. another: You can tell a louse by its walk.

If your house is on fire, warm yourself by it.

The road to a friend’s house is never long.

No one gets into trouble without his own help.

Don’t throw away dirty water before you have more clean water.

A small fire that warms you, is better than a large one that burns you.
