Sick people are like kings.
Sorrow is like rice in an attic: you use a little every day and at the end it is all gone.
The barking dog gives you no power -- it gives you fear.
The dog's bark is not might, but fright.
The dying person cannot wait for the shroud to be woven.
The earth is God's bride -- she feeds the living and cherishes the dead.
The earth is a giant cooking pot and men are the meat therein.
The eel that got away is as fat as your thigh.
The end of an ox is beef, and the end of a lie is grief.
The food which is prepared has no master.
The king inherits a country -- the people only hard work.
The lazy man who goes to borrow a spade says, "I hope I will not find one.".
The sin for which you repent is the father of virtue; but a virtue that you talk about, is the mother of sin.
To deny God's existence is like jumping with your eyes closed.
To love the law is to lose money.
Wealth is like hair in the nose: it hurts to be separated whether from a little or from a lot.
When the crocodiles leave, the caymans come.
When the ducks are quacking the frogs take it as a warning.
When the king reigns it is thanks to the people; when a river sings it's thanks to the stones.
When you are looking for a country with no tombstones you will find yourself in the land of cannibals.
When you treat someone like a wild cat, he will steal your chickens.
