Use your wit as a shield, not as a dagger.
There is no greater misfortune than your own.
Pass the bridge that your kinsmen have passed.
You are worth as much as your purse.
Deer-hunter, waste not your arrow on the hare.
Your fingers can't be of the same length.
Consider each day of your life to be the best.
Don't overstrain your bow -- it may break.
Sweep in front of your own door.
Save your fowl before it stops flapping.
A fight in your neighbor's house is refreshing.
When your enemies attack, bathe in their blood.
It is the small expenses that empty your purse.
Do not draw your sword to kill a fly.
The eel that got away is as fat as your thigh.
Your hometown is like a small fatherland.
It's easy to wad your neighbor's field.
Trust in God -- but tie your camel tight.
Make peace with man and war with your sins.
Trust in God, but tie your camel.
Don't wash your dirty linen in public.
