in der Kürze liegt die Würze
brevity is the soul of wit
in der Ruhe liegt die Kraft
haste makes waste
more haste, less speed
one step at a time
slow and steady wins the race

in wine, there is truth
in den Krieg ziehen
go to war
in der Kreide stehen
owe
in der Familie liegen
run in the family
in der Klemme sitzen
be in a tight corner
be in a tight spot
be in deep water
be in in hot water
be stuck between a rock and a hard place
be up the pole
Geld regiert die Welt
money makes the mare go
money makes the world go round
money rules the world
in der Wolle gefärbt
dyed-in-the-wool
in der Klemme stecken
be in a tight corner
be in a tight spot
be in deep water
be in in hot water
be stuck between a rock and a hard place
be up the pole
in der Schmiere sitzen
be in a jam
be in the mire
be in the suds
in der Tinte sitzen
be in a tight corner
be in a tight spot
be in deep water
be in in hot water
be stuck between a rock and a hard place
be up the pole
an der Schwelle des Todes
at death's door
auf der Zunge liegen
on the tip of one's tongue
in den Ruhestand versetzen
pension
in der Furcht, dass
lest
in der Lage sein
be able to
in der Mitte von
in the midst of
in der Nase herumbohren
pick one's nose
in der Schwebe sein
up in the air
