maybe not a proverb but a saying : z gory ci za to dziekuje - i thank you from the top of the mountain.

I heard this one from a Polish/Finnish American;
"Women have a less accurate measure of time than men: there's a clock in Adam, none in Eve."

Would you believe...........(ta da)..........."Banacek"

You must look to your right more often. There you will find solace, and Banacek.

PennBoy:

Yes, but he is a very good actor; Once, he played the part of a Nigerian Pygmy although he walked on his knees a lot in that film. He was never able to properly genuflect again but that's another story..........
