Too many doctors caused the boy's death.
What is now top of the mast, will be firewood soon.
When the cat gets too old, the mice are not afraid any more.

With fowls, the pedigree; with men, breeding.
Worthless people blame their karma.
You can only be honest if you are well fed.
You can't get rice by pounding bran.
