Explanation:
Ovako to navodi Zivorad Kovacevic u "Srpsko-engleskom frazeoloskom recniku".

Isti autor jos kaze:
If you would be well served, serve yourself.
Put your trust in God and keep your powder dry.

Mozda bi ova druga izreka kojan se pripisuje Oliveru Cromwellu (Put your trust in God and keep your powder dry) mogla biti dobar prevod za drugu poslovicu koju navodite (Nada nema pravo...).

Example sentence(s):
  • If you would be well served, serve yourself.
