by Daniel Stoppe (1697 - 1747)

Wind macht aus Toren kluge Leute
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Wind macht aus Toren kluge Leute;
durch wind verdient der Narr sein Brodt:
durch Wind kann man die krümmsten Sachen
mit leichter Mühe g'rade machen;
Wind dient vor alle unglücksfälle, vor alles,
nur nicht vor den Tod;
Wind macht aus Toren kluge Leute;
durch Wind verdient der Narr sein Brot.
