He who asks questions, cannot avoid the answers.
However swift a man, he will not outstrip his shadow.
The devil can make a pot but he can't make a lid.
He that chases another does not sit still himself.
He who is afraid of the leaves must not go into the wood.
When the ass is too happy he begins dancing on the ice.
He who pays the piper may call the tune.
He who shares the meat is always left with the bone.
He who has a stepmother has the devil at his hearth.
He who is born to be hanged shall never be drowned.
He who is near the Church is often far from God.
He who is too proud to ask is too good to receive.
He who wants to conquer lechery must flee from it.
Only he who does nothing makes a mistake.
Whatever the wind brings he takes away with him.
He that wants to eat the kernel must crack the nut.
He who invites storks must have frogs in the house.
He who is his own teacher has a fool for a pupil.
He who likes cherries soon learns to climb.
He who sleeps in a silver bed has golden dreams.
Howling makes the wolf bigger than he really is.
