The poorer you are, the more devils you meet.
The powerful are never faithful.
The prettiest birds are in a cage.
The real scholar is not afraid to ask questions of his pupil.
The remedy for dirt is soap and water. The remedy for dying is living.
The rich man plans for tomorrow, the poor man for today.
The roast duck can fly no more.
The rose has thorns only for those who want to pick it.
The rose has thorns only for those who would gather it.
The saving man becomes the free man.
The scent of a rose will always stay on the hand of the giver.
The scholar builds the cities, the woman knocks them down.
The sheep has no choice when in the jaws of the wolf.
The spirit goes on foot.
The spirit of women is made of quicksilver; their heart of wax.
The thoughtless person buries a well when he is thirsty.
The tongue can paint what the eye can't see.
The tongue of a woman is the sword that is never allowed to rust.
The tongue that concedes will not wear out; obstinate teeth fall out.
The torment of envy is like a grain of sand in the eye.
The unfaithful woman has remorse, the faithful one has regret.
