Talk:Italian proverbs

Can anyone change the vertical table of contents in a horizontal list?

There is a supposedly anonymous quote that I am pretty sure is an Italian proverb, but I can't find the original Italian. perhaps someone else can track it down. The quote is "Once the game is over the king and the pawn go back in the same box." --86.7.199.37 15:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Translated, it's: "Dopo la partita, Re e Pedone vanno nella stessa scatola."
