When it thunders the thief becomes honest.
When the danger has passed, the saints are soon forgotten.
When the danger is past God is cheated.
When the ship has sunk everyone knows how she might have been saved.
When the sun is highest it casts the least shadow.
When the tree is down, everyone runs to it with a hatchet to cut wood.
When wine comes in, modesty leaves.
Where gold speaks every tongue is silent.
Where there are no hounds the fox is king.
Where there is nothing to gain, there is a lot to lose.
Who builds upon the people, builds upon sand.
Who depends on another man's table often dines late.
Who goes to Rome a beast returns a beast.
Who has no courage must have legs.
Who knows most, knows least.
Who offends writes on sand, who is offended on marble.
Who seeks a quarrel will find it near at hand.
Who serves the public, serves no one.
Who suffers from love, feels no pain.
Who will not be ruled by the rudder must be ruled by the rock.
Who would make money must begin by spending it.
