| German Proverb - L
"Like will to like," as the devil said to the coal-burner.Late fruit keeps well.Lawyers are bad Christians.Lazybones take all day to get started.Learned fools are the greatest fools.Learned fools exceed all fools.Less advice and more hands.Let every one sweep before his own door.Let him who is well off hold his tongue.Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth.Let people take and dogs bark.Let the dead rest.Let the devil get into the church, and he will mount the altar.Let the guest go before the storm bursts.Let your head be more than a funnel to your stomach.Light burdens carried far become heavy.Light is light, though the blind man see it not.Like blood, like means, and like age, make the happiest marriage.Little and often makes a heap in time.Little enemies and little wounds are not to be despised.Little fishes make the pike big.Little folks are fond of talking about what great folks do.Locks and keys are not made for honest fingers.Long borrowed is not given.Long choosing and cheapening ends in buying nothing, or bad wares.Long fasting is no economy of food.Long is not for ever.Long-talked-of (or looked-for) comes at last.Look before you leap,
For snakes among sweet flowers do creep.Loquacity and lying are cousins.Love begins at home.Love can do much, money can do all.Love grows with obstacles.Love knows hidden paths.Love without return is like a question without an answer.Love your neighbor, but don't tear down your fence.Love your neighbour, but don't pull down the fence.Love's anger is fuel to love.Love, fire, a cough, the itch, and gout are not to be concealed.Love, thieves, and fear, make ghosts.Loving and singing are not to be forced.Lying is the first step to the gallows. |
