Anger ends in cruelty.
As day break, the glowworms say "We've lit up the world!"
Be bad to the bad; good to the good; be a flower to other flowers and a thorn to other thorns.
Be careful for deep water and dogs that do not bark.
Be like a camel -- carrying sweets but dining on thorns.
Be peaceful yet vigilant -- a sheep will bite someone without a stick.
Better cross-eyed than blind.
Better lie than gossip.
Better than the ignorant are those who read books; better still are those who retain what they read; even better are those who understand it; the best of all are those who go to work.
Better to have a diamond with a few small flaws than a rock that is perfect.
Blind men have no need to walk.
Brains are not to be found in the beard.
By joining the tail to the trunk one makes up the whole elephant.
Deceive me about the price but not about the goods.
Dependence on another is perpetual disappointment.
Do what the mullah says, but don't do what he does.
Don't bargain for fish which are still in the water.
Don't poison someone whom you can kill with sweets.
Drums sound loud because they are hollow.
Every dog is a tiger in his own street.
Every man is the guardian of his own honor.
