| German Proverb - O
"O what we must suffer for the sake of God's church!" said the abbot, when the roast fowl burned his fingers.Of big words and feathers may go to the pound.Of war all can tattle, away from the battle.Of what use is it that the cow gives plenty of milk, if she upset the pail.Of words and feathers, it takes many to make a pound.Offend one monk, and the lappets of all cowls will flutter as far as Rome.Office without pay makes thieves.Often shooting hits the mark.Old birds are hard to pluck.Old churches have dark windows.Old crows are hard to catch.Old love does not rust.Old oxen tread hard.Old people see best in the distance.Old pigs have hard snouts.One kisses the child for the mother's sake, and the mother for the child's sake.One kisses the nurse for the sake of the child.One link broken, the whole chain is broken.One log does not burn long by itself.One man is another's devil.One man knocks in the nail, and another hangs his hat on it.One man's story is no story; hear both sides.One marriage is never celebrated but another grows out of it.One may see through a wall, if there's a hole in it.One must glean at harvest time.One must plough with the horses he has. |
