| German Proverb - N
Nature and love cannot be hid.Nature draws stronger then seven oxen.Nature requires little, fancy much.Necessity seeks bread where it is to be found.Necessity teaches arts.Necessity teaches even the lame to dance.Necessity unites hearts.Neighbour once over the hedge, neighbour over it again.Neutrals are soused from above, and singed from below.Neutrals tread on eggs and break none.Never fell oak at the very first stroke.Never give advice unasked.Never give the skin when you can pay with the wool.Never murder a man who is about to commit suicide.Never trust to another what you should do yourself.New churches and new taverns are seldom empty.New come, welcome.New doctor, new churchyard.New laws, new roguery.New songs are eagerly sung.No ape but swears he has the handsomest children.No armour is proof against the gallows.No house without a mouse, no barn without corn, no rose without a thorn.No jealousy, no love.No man can do nothing and no man can do everything.No man's master, no master's man.No one betrays himself by silence.No one can blow and swallow at the same time.No one can complain of the sea who twice suffers shipwreck.No one can do nothing, and no one can do everything.No one can guard against treachery.No one is too old to learn.No one is wise enough to advise himself.No one knows better where the shoe pinches that he who wears it.No one likes to bell the cat.No one sees his own faults.No pains, no gains.No penny, no paternoster.No smoke without fire.No tree falls at the first stroke.No woman marries an old man for God's sake.Noble and common blood is of the same color.Noble is, that noble does.Nobody is to blame for all.Nobody so wise but has a little folly to spare.Nothing is so new as what has long been forgotten.Nothing looks more like a man of sense than a fool who holds his tongue.Nothing should be done in a hurry except catching fleas.Nothing weighs lighter than a promise.Nought is good for the eyes, but not for the stomach.Nought needs no hiding-place.Nurenberg wit and a skilful hand, will find their way through every land. |
