is this a translated idiom or proverb? From what language / culture?

I found the translation in a Russian-German dictionary. According to it the two German sentences are the adequate translations for the Russian proverb (literally Fear has great eyes. In Russian)

Thank you for the information. Very nice russian proverb!

If you add proverbs, could you please inform people through a comment that it is indeed a proverb, please. it is not always obvious, if it doesn't exist in other languages...
Thank you.

Ok, will do. Although it'd be way easier if newcomers could add tags too.
