“Pissing in your shoes won’t keep your feet warm for long.”

If you get lost in an Icelandic forest, simply stand up and you will find your way.

Better be alone than in bad company.

Hate not the man, but the weakness.

Gold glitters in what is thrown away.

The man is as good as the day is long.

Often does one desire what one does not need.

Pissing in your shoes won’t keep your feet warm for long.

Strong legs are needed to carry good days.

One half our fatherlands is the ocean.

An unlucky girl may make a good woman.

On the ladder to success there is always somebody on the rung above you and who uses your head to steady himself.

You will reach your destination even though you travel slowly.

Faint heart never won fair lady.

If you wish to know what a man is, make him king.

Strike while the iron is hot.

It is better to be a master in a cottage than servant in a castle.
