I love the Haitian Creole proverb in #7 of post previous. "SILA KI MET KANNARI A SE LI KI MET DLO A TOU. - He who owns the water jug also owns the water. "

Sila ki mèt kannari a, se li ki mèt dlo a tou.
sometimes they also say:
Mèt kannari a se mèt dlo a tou.

He who owns the water jug also owns the water. 

This kind of reminds me of the banks and mortgages :)
Whoever owns the land on which you build your house, also owns your house and everything in it.
