| German Proverb - F
Fancy requires much, necessity but little.Fat hens lay few eggs.Fir and water are good servants, but bad masters.Fire in the heart sends smoke into the head.First look at home, then censure me.First weigh, then venture.Fish begin to stink at the head.Five fingers hold more than two forks.Flatterers are cats that lick before and scratch behind.Folks say there is a lack of four sorts of people on earth: of priests, else one would not have six or seven benefices; of gentleman, else every boor would not want to be a squire; of whores, else married women and nuns would not carry on the trade; of Jews, else Christians would not practise usury.Fools build houses, wise men buy them.Fools must not be set on eggs.For love the wolf eats the sheep.For the diligent, a week has seven days; for the slothful, seven tomorrows.For the upright there are no laws.Full vessels give the least sound.Funeral sermon, lying sermon. |
