The following proverbs in Judæo-German are still current in eastern Europe:
...
None has ever lost aught to God.
God waits long, but pays with interest.
God strikes with one hand and heals with the other.
Man strives and God laughs.
Whom God would regale, man can not quail.
If thou intend a thing, God will help thee.
God gives naught for nothing.
One path leads to paradise, but a thousand to hell.
Better to receive from God by the spoonful than from man by the bushel.
The world can be changed by neither scolding nor laughing.
A man can bear more than tell oxen can draw.
God forbid that we should experience all that we are able to bear.
Ten enemies can not do a man the harm that he does to himself.
A man can eat alone, but not work alone.
Comrades are needed both for joy and for sorrow.
Better a fool that has traveled than a wise man who has remained at home.
