| Danish Proverb - L
"Ladies have ladies' whims." said crazy Ann, when she draggled her cloak in the gutter.Labour has a bitter root, but a sweet taste.Lambs don't runs with the mouth of the sleeping wolf.Late repentance is seldom worth much.Law helps the waking, luck may come to the sleeping.Lawyers and painters can soon change white to black.Lend to your friend, and ask payment of your enemy.Let a child have its will, and it will not cry.Let a dog get at a dish of honey, and he will jump in with both legs.Let a saint be ever so humble, he will have his wax taper.Let every bird sing its own note.Let him stay at the oar who has learnt to row.Let him who would reach another a brand, beware that he do not burn his own hand.Let the blood be ever so thin, it is always thicker than water.Like plays best with like.Like seeks like--a scabbed horse and a sandy dike.Little children, little sorrows; big children, great sorrows.Little saints also perform miracles.Little sorrows are loud, great ones silent.Lords and fools speak freely.Love and poverty are hard to conceal.Love's plant must be watered with tears, and tended with care.Luck has much for many, but enough for no one.Luck is better than a hundred marks.Luck sometimes visits a fool, but never sits down with him.Luck stops at the door and inquires whether prudence is within.Luck taps at the door and inquires whether prudence is within.Luck will carry a man across the brook if he is not too lazy to leap. |
