“You should forge while the iron is hot.”

Time passes by quickly when you are enjoying yourself.

The end justifies the means.

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

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.

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.
