When we have nothing to worry about we are not doing much, and not doing much supplies us with plenty of future worries |
When you are poor, neighbors close by will not come; once you become rich, you'll be surprised by visits from (alleged) relatives afar |
When you bow, bow low |
When you drink from the stream remember the spring |
When you fall into a pit, you either die or get out |
When you have musk, you will automatically have fragrance |
When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other |
When you say one thing, the clever person understands three |
When your horse in on the brink of a precipice, it is too late to pull the reins |
Who is not satisfied with himself will grow, who is not sure of his own correctness will learn many things |
Who teaches me for a day is my father for a lifetime |
With money you are a dragon; with no money, a worm |
With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown. |
Without rice, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook |
You can hardly make a friend in a year, but you can easily offend one in an hour. |
