Wat men niet en besuert, en besoetmen niet.
Niemant leert als met schade of Schaem.
Wat niet en cost, en deugt niet.

Stagen maken Wijs
'T vertrant Kint vreest de vyer
Den Hont, en rieckt niet aen de cant.
Daer hy de neus eens heeft verbrant.
That is,
What smarts, that instructs.
Without sowre, there's no sweet.
No better Masters, than Shame and Pain.
What cost nothing, is worth nothing.
Stripes make Wise.
The burnt Child dreads the Fire.
The Dog will avoid that place where he burnt his Nose.
