Czech Proverbs Every cat is black at night. An early bird will hop farther. Repetition is the mother of wisdom. Speaking is silver, silence is gold. He who digs a hole for someone, will fall in it himself. He who looks, finds. Anger is a bad advisor. What’s at home, counts. Even small fish are fish. Good advice is better than gold. As you make your bed, so you must lie in it. He who is not lazy shall get much green. As you sow, so shall you reap. Don’t extinguish what isn’t burning you. Measure twice, cut once. Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends. The morning is wiser than the evening. An apple does not fall far from the tree. What have you learned young you’ll find useful in the old. A word spoken is past recalling. When you go to buy, use your eyes, not your ears. Patience brings roses. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. There are no cakes without work.
