Translation of "Ounce" in German

An ounce of practice is worth a pound of precept.

Ein Quäntchen Übung ist gleich viel wert wie ein Pfund Belehrung.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Vorbeugen ist besser als Heilen.

And I hope with every ounce of my body that no one here heard:

und ich hoffe mit jeder Faser meines Körpers, dass das niemand gehört hat:

- Nobody that has any common sense would think of doing such nonsense.
- No one with an ounce of common sense would think of doing something so daft.
- No one who's got an ounce of common sense would think of doing something so daft.
- No one with an ounce of common sense would think of doing something so stupid.
- No one with a shred of common sense would think of doing something so senseless.

Niemand mit einem Funken gesunden Menschenverstandes würde darauf kommen, so etwas Unsinniges zu tun.

It took Tom every ounce of courage he had to admit to Mary that he had once been part of a terrorist group.

Tom musste seinen ganzen Mut zusammennehmen, um Maria zu sagen, dass er einmal Mitglied einer Terroristengruppe gewesen war.
