“An upstanding peasant is bigger than a nobleman on his knees.”

Distress knows no law.

A spoken word and a thrown stone cannot be called back.

The loss on the swings is won back on the merry-go-round.

If you lose one, there are a thousand more to choose from.

‘Sour’ said the fox about rowanberries.

Time passes by quickly when you are enjoying yourself.

The end justifies the means.

Pride goes before fall.

Slow but steady.

Take the custom where you come.

The miser is his own mother-in-law.

Honesty lasts the longest.

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

Own hearth is gold worth.

It concerns you, too, when your neighbor’s wall is on fire.

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