“What matter if I suffer, if only my neighbor suffers too.”

When it rains on the priest, it dripples on the sacristan.

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.

Do not make a hen out of a feather.

Dig where you stand.

Through yourself you know others.

Blood is thicker than water.

He who has long fingers should also have long legs.

It is more blissful to give than to receive.

The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Eaten bread is soon forgotten.

Love me when I least deserve it, because that is when I need it the most.

Each smith has his custom.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Fortune favours the bold.

Rome was not built in one day.

Comes time comes counsel.
