Sorry, I think I did not understand what you were trying for. Were you looking for more in the below categories .. ?

I missed what the original thought for the thread was. I translated as refuting the previously posted proverb.
How about: being respected is more important than having great riches? |

It looks like my original idea for the thread isn't going to fly, as it requires too much organization, and for new people to read-back through the thread too much.
OK, Rule change! Post a proverb that contradicts in some way the previously posted proverb. Do not post a proverb that's already been posted in the same chain. Let's start again with Look before you leap |

In het diepe springen
(jump into the deep) Edit As proverbs can sound very silly if they're translated, I'll just give the meaning: just do it, even though you don't know the risks; you can not see what is on the bottom in deep water, it might be nice and level, but there could be rocks too Last edited by Sweetpea; 12-05-2012 at 07:40 AM. |

"No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano"
Translate to something like: "Not because you wake up early the sun will rise". |
