"Aller Anfang ist schwer.
Bete und arbeite.
Wer das Kleine nicht ehrt ist das Grosse nicht wert.
Wer Pech angreift, wird besudelt.
Handwerk hat einen goldnen Boden.
Lerne leiden, ohne zu klagen.
Was Du nicht willst, was man Dir thu', das fug' auch keinem andern zu.
Wer andern eine Grube grabt, fallt selbst hinein.
Wer zuletzt lacht, lacht am besten.
Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
It is a collection of nine different (incoherent) german proverbs.
