French proverbs
Don't find fault with what you don't understand. Foxes come at last to the furrier's. Write injuries in sand, kindnesses in marble. Justifying a fault doubles it. The devil is not always at a poor man's door. A good swordsman is never quarrelsome. Let him who is cold blow the fire. Fools go in throngs. A girl unemployed is thinking of mischief. Bring up a raven and he will peck out your eyes. Easy to say is hard to do. He who judges between two friends loses one of them. He who carries nothing loses nothing. He sleeps securely who has nothing to lose. War makes robbers, peace hangs them. God gives the cold according to the cloth. Love does wonders, but money makes marriage. He is a great fool who forgets himself. The first blow is as good as two. Iron may be rubbed so long that it gets heated. A tender-hearted mother makes a scabby daughter. Who pays soon borrows when he will. The miser and the pig are of no use till dead. One half of the world laughs at the other. A woman laughs when she can and weeps when she pleases. Old reckonings breed new disputes. What the colt learns in youth he continues in old age. The last comers are often the masters. He who begins and does not finish loses his labor. Who loves well, chastises well. Married today, marred tomorrow. The belly overrules the head. One must lose a minnow to catch a salmon. The first step is all the difficulty.
