Exploring the Wisdom of Dutch Sayings – Proverbs that Capture Everyday Life

A little wind is better than a big storm.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Better an egg today than a hen tomorrow.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Many hands make light work.

A cat in the sack is worth two in the bush.

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.

Better late than never.

A stitch in time saves nine.

Actions speak louder than words.

All that glitters is not gold.

A watched pot never boils.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

You can’t judge a book by its cover.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

You can’t get blood from a stone.

The best things in life are free.

Make hay while the sun shines.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Time flies when you’re having fun.

Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Silence is golden.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

The early bird catches the worm.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

It’s no use crying over spilled milk.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Don’t cross the bridge until you come to it.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

It takes two to tango.

There’s no place like home.
