Now we will move to german where people with the passing of time learn different proverbs, especially during war. As everybody now War is, unfortunately, a part of our world, and many proverbs are used about peace, conflicts, winners, losers, and the course of the war. 

 Have you ever listened to:

Besser ein Ei im Frieden als ein Ochs im Kriege. (Better an egg in peace than an ox in war.) this means that is better live in peace and how stay that way.

Harren, sehn und schweigen verhütet manchen Krieg. (To await, observe and be silent can prevent a lot of wars.) A lot of conflicts can be avoided if people are patient, and observant and if they think before they speak or act.

Mit Speck fängt man Mäuse( With bacon you hunt mice) this means you can win everyone with a good business.
