| German Proverb - S
"Success to you! God speed the craft!" as the hangman said to the judge.Security is nowhere safe.Security is the first cause of misfortune.Self is the man.Self-done, is soon done.Self-love is bad, and makes the eyes sad.Self-praise stinks, friends praise hinks, the stranger's is sincere, and may last for a year.Services unrequired go unrequited.Set a beggar on horseback, and he'll outride the devil.She is fond of him--on the side where the pocket hangs.Short hair is soon brushed.Sickly body, sickly mind.Silence and reflection cause no dejection.Silk and velvet put out the kitchen fire.Singed cats live long.Singers, lovers, and poets are privileged liars.Slaughter no more than you can well salt.Slow and sure.Small profits and often, are better than large profits and seldom.Small saints too work miracles.Small undertakings give great comfort.So it goes in the world: one has the purse, the other has the gold.Soldiers must be well paid, and well hanged.Something to every one is good division.Speak little, speak truth. Spend little, pay cash.Speak, that I may see thee.Speaking comes by nature, silence by understanding.Speedy rise, speedy fall.Spending your money with many a guest, empties the kitchen, the cellar and chest.Sudden glory soon goes out.Suit yourself to the times.Summer sown corn and women's advice turn out once in every seven years.Sweat makes good mortar.Sweet song has betrayed many.Sweet wine makes sour vinegar. |
