| German Proverb - P
Painted flowers are scentless.Paper is patient.Pay in like coin.Pay-day comes every day.Peacock, look at your legs.Penny is penny's brother.People often change and seldom for the better.People show their character by what they laugh at.Piety, prudence, wit, and civility, are the elements of true nobility.Pilgrims seldom come home saints.Pills must be bolted, not chewed.Places are God's; placemen are the devil's.Plants oft removed never thrive.Politeness is what warmth is to wax.Poor men's reasons are not heard.Poor men's reasons are not heard.Poor people's words go many to a sackful.Poverty and hunger have many learned disciples.Poverty is cunning; it catches even a fox.Poverty is the sixth sense.Praise a fine day at night.Praising is not loving.Presents keep friendship warm.Priestly knaves sweat hard at their meat, but never at work get into a heat.Priests and women never forget.Priests bless themselves first.Priests even smile pleasantly on young women.Priests pay each other no tithes.Priests should not prate out of the confessional.Princes have long hands and many ears.Promises are like the full moon: if they are not kept at once they diminish day by day.Promises don't fill the belly.Promises make debts.Proverbs are like butterflies, some are caught and some fly away.Put out the fire betimes, ere it reach the roof.Put the light out, and all women are alike. |
