GERMAN PROVERBS
A dead dog lias no teeth. . . Nothing' is more ridiculous than an old man in love.. fc;VL‘: ‘ Old age is not free from folly.. T - It is a worthless hen . that ’ lays for your neighbours. - . - Rumor is a great liar. Trust, not either a wind that is favorable or a ruler who laughs. .When wolf eats wolf there must be a famine in the forest. He serves, a bad master who serves the multitude. Not years, but worries, make men old. They who hunt with cats will catch mice. Learn to endure if you wish to succeed. * L There is no need to look back upon him who acts kindly. / ; , '" No river is so deep as to have no bottom. We cannot deceive an empty stomach. Every dog is brave on its own doorstep. Every fool makes a hundred others. No one winces at another’s pain.
