1. Equi dentes inspicere donati.
It. A caval donato non guardar in bocca
Fr. A cheval donné, il ne faut pas regarder aux dens
Ing. We must not look a gifthorse in the mouth
A caval donato non guardar in bocca. It. A cheval donné, il ne faut pas regarder aux dens. Fr. We must not look a gift-horse in the mouth. Presents are not to be esteemed by their costliness, but by the intention of the donor. «Aliquando gratius est quod facili, quam quod plena manu datur», what is given freely and without solicitation, is more acceptable than a more valuable and expensive present, that was not obtained without great entreaty.
