Maltese Proverbs - Popular quotes, proverbs and sayings.
Do well and forget it; do ill and remember it. Death said to the man with his throat cut, “How ugly you look". Your soul to God, your body to dust, your property to your relatives, because thus it has been found written. You must kill the spider to get rid of the cobweb. You can’t buy heaven with money. You cannot serve God and the devil. With money you can build a road in the sea. Where the heart loves, there the legs walk. When it’s raining and the sun shines — then a Turk is born. When a miser dies, the heirs feel as happy as when they kill a pig. What was is no more, what if is just if.
