Wie een kuil graaft voor een ander, valt er zelf in. Who digs a hole for the other, fall in it themselves. It means that when someone sets up a scheme, plot or any kind of deceptive wrongdoing, it will backfire. ROUGHLY, it's difficult to translate such things.

I tried to find an English version of a French poem, but the translation is said to be from Dale Carnegie despite the French text being older, so here are the two version (English first):

"A smile, someone once said, costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give"

French :
"Un sourire ne coûte rien et produit beaucoup, Il enrichit celui qui le reçoit sans appauvrir celui qui le donne, Il ne dure qu'un instant, mais son souvenir est parfois éternel, Personne n'est assez riche pour s'en passer, Personne n'est assez pauvre pour ne pas le mériter, Il crée le bonheur au foyer, soutient les affaires, Il est le signe sensible de l'amitié, Un sourire donne du repos à l'être fatigué, Donne du courage au plus découragé Il ne peut ni s'acheter, ni se prêter, ni se voler, Car c'est une chose qui n'a de valeur qu'à partir du moment où il se donne. Et si toutefois, vous rencontrez quelqu'un qui ne sait plus sourire, soyez généreux donnez-lui le vôtre, Car nul n'a autant besoin d'un sourire que celui qui ne peut en donner aux autres."

-Raoul Follereau
