The devil can make a pot but he can't make a lid.
The drunkard thinks of only one thing and the barman of something else.
The hunchback sees the hump of others -- never his own.
The more eggs, the thicker the soup.
The starving man will never burn his bread.
The udder of a neighbor's cow is always bigger.
To follow everyone is wrong, to follow no one is worse.
Truth's violinist is always beaten with his own bow.
Where right has no power -- there power likes to be.
Where the army goes there is no grass.
With a full belly it is easy to talk about fasting.
Without money one cannot go anywhere, not even to church.
Woe to him who sits upon a branch.
You may boast to strangers, but tell the truth to your own people.
