'If you're gonna plane wood then you've got to deal with wood shavings' (mildly confusing German proverb)

'Mann musst Ein Parr Wursten rein schmeisen wenn Mann Schinken woltst' (slightly confusing German proverb)

'We all have to put in hard work and suffering if want something good' (in the context of the faith this means we have to carry our crosses if we want to reach heaven)
