Some Swedish proverbs/sayings

Alright, I'm just translating these directly into English since I have no idea of the English equivalent for them.

Bättre fly än illa fäkta
It's better to run, than to stay and fight poorly

Alla goda ting är tre
Good things comes in three(s)

Borta bra men hemma bäst
Away is good, but home is best (Home sweet home)

Blod är tjockare än vatten
Blood is thicker than water

Den som viskar han ljuger
He who whispers is lying

En olycka kommer sällan ensam
An accident never comes alone

Många bäckar små blir en stor å
Many small brooks becomes a big stream

Gammal kärlek rostar aldrig
Old love never rusts

Låt maten tysta munnen
Let the food quiet the mouth
