| Danish Proverb - E
Earnestness and sport go well together.Eggs and oaths are easily broken.Empty barrels give the most sound.Empty waggons make most noise.Enough is great riches.Envy does not enter an empty house.Envy is its own torturer.Envy was never a good spokesman.Even a small star shines in the darkness.Even clever hens sometimes lay their eggs among nettles.Even crumbs are bread.Even he gets on who is drawn by oxen.Even that fish may be caught that strives the hardest against it.Every bird needs its own feathers.Every day has its evening.Every foal is not like its sire.Every fool thinks he is clever enough.Every fox looks after his own skin.Every life has its joy, every joy its law.Every little fish expects to become a whale.Every little helps, said the sow, when she snapped at a gnat.Every man carries an enemy in his own bosom.Every man has his liking.Every man has his lot, and a wide world before him.Every man likes his own praise best.Every man must carry his own sack to the mill.Every one finds sin sweet and repentance bitter.Every one rakes the fire under his own pot.Every one sees his smart coat, no one sees his shrunken belly.Every one tries to cross the fence where it is lowest.Every tub must stand on its own bottom.Every wind is against a leaky ship.Everything has an end--except a sausage, which has two.Evil is soon done, but slowly mended.Evil must be driven out by evil.Evil wastes itself. |
