From Germany:
Too clever is stupid.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
Begin to weave and God will give the thread.
A lean agreement is better than a fat lawsuit.
Flatters, like cats, lick and then scratch.

From Austria:
The hunt is like a dance for men, for the women the dance is the hunt.
What I do not know will not keep me warm.
A light is still a light-even though the blind man cannot see it.
If you shoot your arrows at stones, you will damage them.
The earth does not shake when the flea coughs.

This is a quote my mother found somewhere and has taped to the outside of one of the cabinets in our kitchen: "A mistake on your part does not necessarily mean an emergency on my part." At least I think that's how it goes!
