You may light another’s candle at your own without loss, [388]
You may often feel that heavily on your back, which you took lightly on your conscience, [400]
You may preach ever so long to the wolf, he will nevertheless call for lamb before night, [390]
You may shut your doors against a thief, but not against a liar, [388]
You must be strong to pull a rope against a stronger, [357]
You must contrive to bake with the flour you have, [386]
You must grease the wheels if you would have the car run, [75]
You must have good luck to catch hares with a drum, [357] (See Hares)
You must howl with the wolves when you are among them, [390] (See He who herds)
You must judge a maiden at the kneading trough, and not in a dance, [390]
