Where two are fighting, the third wins
I really like the Polish proverb: Gdzie dw贸ch si臋 bije, tam trzeci korzysta, meaning: where two people are fighting over something, the third party takes it all.

In Slovenian we say Kjer se prepirata dva, tretji dobi膷ek ima. Is very similar to Polish and Slovak!
In German it goes: Wenn zwei sich streiten, freut sich der Dritte, when two are fighting, the third is rejoicing.
Here in Slovakia we have the same phrase ...Kde sa dvaja bij煤,tret铆 vyhr谩va, where two people are fighting over something, the third party takes it all ... d=)
In Dutch there is also one: Vechten twee honden om een been, loopt de derde er snel mee heen, literally: two dogs fight over a bone, the third quickly runs away with it.
In Romania, we have the same proverb: cand doi se cearta, al treilea castiga, where two people are fighting over something, the third party wins all.
