Old Proverbs - Netherlandish Proverbs
Just thought I would share this. Saw this while watching some random documentary and thought it was awesome. Painted in 1559 showing all the common proverbs at the time.
Thought it was cool to see some phrases we still use today in this.

They shall be Dark of heart and strong of body, untainted by doubt and unsullied by self aggrandisement.
They will be bright stars in the firmament of battle.
Angels of Death whose shining wings bring swift annihilation to the enemies of man.

Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.

He who eats fire, craps sparks...
So much crapping going on back then. I guess things don't really change :)
