Al te goed is buurmans gek. Literal Translation: "All too good is neighbor's fool." Meaning: "If you are always helping everyone, someone will abuse it." Als de kat van huis is, dansen de muizen (op tafel). Literal Translation: "When the cat is away from home, the mice dance (on the table)" Meaning: "Grabbing the opportunity when nobody watches". Better English: "While the cat's away, the mice will play". Dutch Proverbs Brueghel |
