You see a mote in another´s eye but not a beam in your own

You can see a mote in another’s eye but cannot see a beam in your own

Wise men learn by other men´s harmas, fools by their own

While the word is in your mouth, it is your own; when ’tis one spoken ’tis another’s

What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is my own

When a man is going down-hill, everyone will give him a push

What goes up must come down

Wealth is best known by want

We must not lie down and cry, «God help us»

Water always flows down, not up

Too much water drowned the miller

To measure another man’s foot by one’s own last

To measure other people’s corn by one’s own bushel

To measure other’s feet by one’s own last

To make a rod for one’s own back

To get drown in one’s own spittle

To fight with one’s own shadow

To each his own

The worth of a thing is best known by the want of it

The world is a ladder for some to go up and some down

The workman is known by his work

The tod never sped better than when he went his own errand

The strong man and the water fall channel their own path

The smoke of a man’s own house is better than the fire of anothers

The parson always christens his own child first

The owl thinks her own young fairest

The master has the keenest eye in his own affairs

The hunchback does not see his own hump, but sees his companion’s

The end crowns the work

The devil looks after his own

The devil is kind to his own

The cow may want her own tail yet

The camel never sees its own hump, but that of its brother is always before its eyes

The bird is known by his note, the man by his words

Sweep before your own door
