| German Proverb - D
Daughter-in-law hates mother-in-law.Daughters are easy to rear, but hard to marry.Dear physic always does good, if not to the patient, at least to the apothecary.Debtors are liars.Deferred is not annulled.Devils must be driven out with devils.Disputing and borrowing cause grief and sorrowing.Do not despise an insignificant enemy, nor a slight wound.Do not divide the spoil till the victory is won.Do not ship all in one bottom.Do what thou doest. (Age quod agis.)Doctor Luther's shoes do not fit every parish priest.Dogs that bark much don't bite.Doing nothing teaches doing ill.Don't budge, if you sit at ease.Don't carry your head too high, the door is low.Don't cry "Hurra!" till you are over the ditch.Don't cry hurra! till your are over the hedge (till you are out of the wood).Don't divide the spoil before the victory is won.Don't fly till your wings are feathered.Don't learn too much, Jack, else you must do a great deal.Don't reckon without your host.Don't sell the bear-skin before you have killed the bear.Don't throw away your dirty water till you have got clean.Dreams are froth.Drink upon salad costs the doctor a ducat; drink upon eggs costs him two.Drinking a little too much is drinking a great deal too much.Ducats are clipped, pence are not.Dumb dogs and still water are dangerous. |
