The nose is near to the eyes

Old Icelandic proverb, uttered two times in Njal's saga and meaning that duties often come together with family ties.

Thorgerd spoke to Ketil:"Oskuld is dead, as we know. Now keep in mind what you promised when you took him as yours foster-son".

"It may well be", he said, "that I made many promises then, because I never expected days like these would come. In fact, I'm in a difficult position, since I'm married to Njal's daughter - the nose is near to the eyes".
~Njal's saga, translated by Robert Cook

Near

(of a person) stingy; miserly

Here's a sentence using "near" in the archaic sense of stingy:

Uncle Harold wouldn't even spring for a round of drinks, so cheap he bordered on near.
Note: This usage of "near" is not very common today. You might consider a more common synonym like "stingy," "cheap," or "miserly" depending on the desired emphasis.
