Good point about the translation og "klok". I was about to use "wise" but ended with "knowledgeable" since it felt like the most literal translation. For anyone still following I think "wise" maps to the Norwegian "vis". BTW: I think old proverbs are really interesting - both local ones as well as international ones. Sooner or later someone should try to create a complete encyclopedia of proverbs :-)
