A proverb a day to brighten the day!

549a.
Ein Baum, der bittere Früchte trägt, und ein Mann,
der seinen Reichtum verbirgt, nützt der Welt nichts.

549b. A tree bearing bitter fruits and a man
who hides his wealth are of no use to the world.

Money and Muck must be spread to become useful.
Love must be shown and not withheld in oneself.

A tree bearing bitter fruits will not be useful even if it is in the middle of a garden.
A man who sleeps on his money is like the proverbial 'Dog in the manger'.

'A Dog in the manger' is a person who has no need of, or ability to use, a possession
which would be of use or value to others and he prevents the others from having it.
