costa abaixo todos os santos axudan
Galician
Proverb
costa abaixo todos os santos axudan
- literally "all the saints help when going downwards" (in reference to a Catholic procession, when statues and representation of saints are taken out of the churches): everyone volunteers for a simple job ("going downwards"), but not for heavy work ("going upwards with a heavy load").
- misfortunes never come singly.
