| Danish Proverb - P
"Peter, I am taking a ride," said the goose, when the fox was running into the wood with her.Peace and a well-built house cannot be bought too dearly.Peace feeds, war wastes; peace breeds, war consumes.Peace must be bought even at a high price.People must eat, even were every tree a gallows.Poor relations have little honour.Power often goes before talent.Praise a fair day in the evening.Praise a fool, and you may make him useful.Praise borrowed from ancestors is but very sorry praise.Praise paves the way to friendship.Precipitate counsel--perilous deed.Pretty children sing pretty songs.Profit is better than fame.Promises and undressed cloth are apt to shrink.Put your hand quickly to your hat, and slowly in your purse, and you will take no harm. |
