My contribution to Proverbmonday 5 February 2007 is a photo showing a small part (1/25) of the famous Pieter Bruegel painting "The Dutch Proverbs".
The complete painting was posted earlier:

It pictures over 120 proverbs and sayings. In the above picture one may recognize:
“Men moet zeilen wanneer de wind waait” = "Men must sail when the wind blows" = “Hoist your sail when the wind is fair ”
"Voor de wind is het goed zeilen” = “It is good sailing before the wind”
"Men moet een oogje in het zeil houden" = "One should keep an eye on things"
”Wanneer ik niet geschikt ben om ganzen te hoeden dan mogen het ganzen zijn” = “If I am unequal to look after geese then let it be geese”
“Wie geboren is om te hangen verdrinkt niet” = “He that is born to be hanged shall never be drowned”
“Waar aas is zijn kraaien” = “Where there is prey there are crows”
