The German saying in question is "Es gibt nichts gutes,
ausser man tut es". I would have thought a (more nearly) correct word there was
"fawmpambe", hence:
Jutay fawma tomi jake jubyecawme fawmpambe
tohi.
This is because the implication of the saying is that there
has to be someone (i.e., an agent,) reponsible for doing anything good that is
actually good. Of course, I am open to suggestion about the translation.
