Knowledge without wisdom is a load of books on fool’s back.
The jelly fish never dances with the shrimp.
Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods.
Count the skins of badgers which haven’t been caught.
Even a fool has one talent.
Deceive the rich and powerful if you will, but don’t insult them.
There is no flower that remains red for ten days.
The go-between wears out a thousand sandals.
All are not good cooks who carry long knives.
An iron rod can be ground down to become a needle.
The slug always leaves a trail to follow.
A boor remains a boor, though he sleeps on silken bolsters.
Fall seven times, stand up eight.
The wise must be respected, even when the advice they give is not suitable.
The eye of the master will do more than both his hands.
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
It is easy to be generous out of another man’s purse.
A foul mouth must be provided with a strong back.
Better is the branch that bends, than the branch that breaks.
