Where conceit and ignorance sit, grass will not grow again.
Where there are no sheep, they call the goat princess.
Where you were born is less important than how you live.
Who burned himself with hot milk blows on ice cream.
Who gossips to you will gossip about you.
Who has power in his hands has no need to lie; he uses violence.
Who kisses the feet of his mother, kisses the step of Paradise.
Who seeks a faultless friend remains friendless.
Wine that isn't paid for is drunk twice.
You can proclaim the truth also in a friendly way.
You cannot forge a good sword from bad iron.
You cannot get into Paradise without a guide.
You don't have to know much to read, but you do to cook.
You don't steal a bitter eggplant.
You don't wash blood away with blood but with water.
You may lie, but not too much.
Your five year old son is your instructor; at ten your slave; at fifteen your equal and after that either friend or foe.
