Swedish Proverbs

Better listen to a broken string than never having bent a bow.

Devils have more than twelve apostles.

From children, drunkards and madmen you get to hear the truth.

Don’t shoot yourself in the foot.

An ounce of lying saves tons of explanations.

Money cannot buy happiness.

Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.

Better to be a poor woman than the slave of the rich.

Don’t celebrate until you have crossed the creek.

As the master sleeps, the servant dreams.
