Salvete Omnes,
just a short entry - from the late ancient Rome comes this very old proverb - Noli equi dentes inspicere donati - written down by Saint Jerome in his commentaries on St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians.
The Polish version goes as follows - Darowanemu koniowi nie zagląda się w zęby - and all European languages have this saying (including the Turkish language).
The English - don't look a gift horse in the mouth
The Spanish - a caballo regalado, no le mires el diente
etc
enjoy...
Valete
