Quoting Deli_kizin:

I wonder if the second refers to a Dutch one, that says 'Many hands make an easy job'. i.e. if many people work together, it's not as hard as when you would do it alone.

But I dont know if there is an English equivalent to that.

This is 'two heads are better than one'according to one source or 'it takes two to tango' from another.

Honestly though I've translated the phrases into English but they don't seem to say the things we would say.
Number 5 might be a long winded way of saying 'silence is golden'

Quoting Avalon:

El elden Ã¼stÃ¼ndÃ¼r -One hand may be superior to another. One should not assume no one else can do better.

So-'no one is indispensable'??

Maybe number 7 is 'good fences make good neighbours'

Quoting Deli_kizin:

Quoting sonunda:

yes-'many hands make light work'

Oh haha

I wanted to translate it like that, because that is the literal one from the Dutch. But then I got confused to what it meant in Dutch and if it was possible to say it like that in English so I altered my trnaslation a wee bit

But apparantly its exactly the same
