I just love how in English you say “great minds think alike”, which is a completely positive thing since you’re kinda praising yourself, but in German you go like “zwei Dumme, ein Gedanke” = “two fools, one thought” 

German is beautiful, isn’t it

to be fair we also have “idiots seldom differ” to contradict that one

(like ‘fools rush in’ and ‘he who hesitates is lost’ also do)
