“Sweep first before your own door, before you sweep the doorsteps of your neighbors.”

It is best to bite into the sour apple

You must learn to crawl before you can walk.

When the mouse is full, the flour tastes bitter.

Each day has enough of its own misery.

The end is good, everything is good.

Hurry slowly.

Only Sweden has Swedish gooseberries.

Dear child has many names.

Nobody is too young to die tomorrow.

Variety delights.

Do not weep over spilled milk.

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.
