Schmiede das Eisen, solange es heiß ist.

鉄は熱いうちに打て
Tetsu wa atsui uchi ni ute
Schmiede das Eisen, solange es heiß ist.
Dum ferrum candet, cudere quemque decet.
Man soll das Eisen schmieden, solange es heiß ist.

鉄は熱いうちに打て
Tetsu wa atsui uchi ni ute
Strike while the iron is hot.
Make hay while the sun shines.
One should strike while the iron’s hot.
