Be on a horse when you go in search of a better one.
In every family's cooking pot is one black spot.
It is easy to govern a kingdom but difficult to rule one's family.
One man tells a lie, dozens repeat it as the truth.
One moment's error becomes a lifetime of sadness.
Only one who can swallow an insult is a man.
Reshape one's foot to try to fit into a new shoe.
The court official in one life has seven rebirths as a beggar.
No one can be caught in places he does not visit.
One sprinkles the most sugar where the tart is burnt.
When one sheep is over the dam, the rest follow.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
If one is not in a hurry, even an egg will start walking.
One who runs alone cannot be outrun by another.
A young branch can be straightened, a mature one breaks.
The memories of one's youth make for long, long thoughts.
It is a hard winter when one wolf eats another.
Life is half spent before one knows what life is.
A flatterer has water in one hand and fire in the other.
As the old birds sing, so the young ones twitter.
One hand washes the other and both wash the face.
