The eye that is still says more than a chattering mouth.
The fast talker makes mistakes.
The fortune-teller never knows his own.
The frog in his pond sneers at the ocean.
The go-between wears out a thousand sandals.
The gods just laugh when men pray to them for wealth.
The goodness of the father reaches higher than a mountain; that of the mother goes deeper than the ocean.
The guest who seeks special attention muddies the host's tea.
The hard road turns the traveller into the same dust that he has to swallow.
The head of a monkey, the headdress of a prince.
The heaviest rains fall on the house that leaks most.
The hen tells the cock to crow.
The human heart is neither of stone nor wood.
The inarticulate speak longest.
The lawyer will extend the frontiers of a fight.
The lazy one stands up between one armchair and another.
The lotus flower blooms in the mud.
The matchmaker always asks for too much money for his eight hundred lies.
The most beautiful flowers flourish in the shade.
The mouth is the door of evil.
The mouth of a man is a terrible opening.
