| German Proverb - M
Maidens say no, and mean yes.Maids say nay, and take.Make the best of a bad bargain.Make yourself an ass, and every one will lay his sack on you.Man loves but once.Man without woman, is head without body; woman without man, is body without head.Many can help one.Many cooks spoil the broth.Many hands make quick work.Many have good intentions, but something comes across them.Many look with one eye at what they give, but with seven at what they receive.Many see more with one eye that others with two.Many shun the brook, and fall into the river.Many shun the sword, and come to the gallows.Many take by the bushel, and give with the spoon.Many trades, begging the best.Many who build castles in the air cannot build a hut on earth.Marriage is heaven and hell.Marrying in the blood is never good.Marrying is easy, but housekeeping is hard.Merchant to-day, beggar to-morrow.Millers and bakers do not steal, people bring to them.Millers, tailors, and weavers are not hanged, or the trade would soon be extinct.Misfortune, wood, and hair, grow throughout the year.Misreckoning is no payment.Money in the purse dispels melancholy.Money taken, freedom forsaken.Monks, mice, rats, vermin, seldom sunder without harming.More are drowned in the bowl than in the sea.More belongs to riding than a pair of boots.More is done with words than with hands.Mother's truth keeps constant youth.Mother, I must have a husband, or I shall set fire to the house.Mouth and heart are wide apart.Much money, much friends.Much taste, much waste.Much wisdom is lost in poor men's mouths.Much wit is lost in a poor man's purse.Mules make a great fuss about their ancestors having been horses.Must is a hard nut.My friend's enemy is often my best friend. |
