Blood Is Thicker Than Water

The family bond is closer than anything else.

Originally German, original meaning was the blood of covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. I.E: One who I have swore to means more than one who shared the womb with me. However, it lost its original meaning and now means almost the opposite!



Ex: Why did you betray me for your brother? Blood is thicker than water!



Spanish: La sangre tira mucho



German: Blut ist dicker als Wasser.
