“Love has produced some heroes but even more idiots.”

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.

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.
