If a dog's prayers were answered, bones would rain from the skies.
If bad luck is asleep you must not awaken it.
If something happens to the master the servants will get his share too.
If you don't want to be deceived, you must have as many eyes as hairs on the head.
If you don't want to be hung yourself, blame the dog for stealing the sausage.
If you fail to practice your art, it will soon disappear.
If you heat an empty pot it bursts.
If you let the weeds grow for a year you will need seven to clear them.
If you want equality, then go to the graveyard.
If you want to be old, hang yourself when you are young.
If you want to live long, be healthy and fat, drink like a dog and eat like a cat.
If you've enjoyed the dance, pay the musicians.
In America an hour is forty minutes.
In bad fortune hold out, in good hold in.
In bad luck, hold out; in good luck, hold in.
In the land of the cripple everyone thinks he walks straight.
In the morning of life, work; in the mid day give council; in the evening, pray.
In the visible church the true Christians are invisible.
In time of war the devil makes more room in hell.
In times of emergency the devil eats flies.
Intelligence is the best capital.
