Only one who can swallow an insult is a man.
Wealth is but dung, useful only when spread about.
Donkeys only come to the court to carry bags.
The tyrant is only the slave turned inside out.
Promises have legs. Only a gift has hands.
To him who is determined it remains only to act.
Carve the peg only after studying the hole.
Envious persons never compliment, they only swallow.
Marriage is the only war in which you sleep with the enemy.
The envious never give praise, they only take it in.
Sugarcane is always sweet people only sometimes so.
They call their aunt only when her cucumbers are ripe.
You can only be honest if you are well fed.
When the hyena drinks, the dog can only look on.
Only a mother would carry the child that bites.
Only the foolish visit the land of the cannibals.
If only I were a bird! Ah, but eating caterpillars?
Only what you have in your hand is not a lie.
For a drunkard the sea only reaches his knees.
