Deviate an inch, lose a thousand miles.
Dig a well before you are thirsty.
Dig the well before you are thirsty.
Discover a well before you are thirsty.
Distance tests a horse's strength; time reveals a marls character.
Do everything at the right time and one day will seem like three.
Do not add legs to the snake after you have finished drawing it.
Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.
Do not dress in clothes made of leaves when going to put out a fire.
Do not employ handsome servants.
Do not forget little kindnesses and do not remember small faults.
Do not insult the river god while crossing the river.
Do not remove a fly from your friend's forehead with a hatchet.
Do not tear down the east wall to repair the west.
Do not trust a person who claims to be honest, and never trust exaggerated friendliness.
Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend's forehead.
