If you don't scale the mountain, you can't view the plain.
The more acquaintances you have, the less you know them.
If it's not your time, you won't be born and you won't die.
As you make your bed, so you must lie in it.
Proportion your expenses to what you have, not what you expect.
Take heed you do not find what you do not seek.
If the wine bothers you while you work, stop working.
When you are rich you suffer in a more comfortable way.
You can cage a bird but you can't make it sing.
If you want to be old, hang yourself when you are young.
Smiles that you broadcast, will always come back to you.
You do not stumble over a mountain, but you do over a stone.
If you really have to sin, then choose a sin that you enjoy.
You shake man's hand, you no shake his heart.
You will hate a beautiful song if you sing it often.
He who gossips to you will gossip about you.
You jump up, but you come down all the same.
If you do not travel, you will marry your own sister.
If you rise too early, the dew will wet you.
If you are already wet, you won't care about the rain.
Winter will ask you what you did during the summer.
