Little pots soon run over.
Little thieves have iron chains; big thieves have gold ones.
Long fasting doesn't save bread.
Love makes labor light.
Many hounds mean the death of the hare.
Many open a door to shut a window.
Many seek good nights and waste good days.
Marry in haste and repent at leisure.
Men can bear all things except good days.
Men that crawl, never fall.
Might is not right.
Milk the cow, but don't pull off the udder.
More flies are caught with a spoonful of syrup than with a barrel full of vinegar.
Much talk, little work.
My shirt is closer to me than my cloak.
Neither reprove nor flatter your wife where people hear or see it.
Never wear a brown hat in Friesland.
No better masters than poverty and want.
No greater promisers than they who have nothing to give.
No office so humble but it is better than nothing.
No one can have peace longer than his neighbor pleases.
