A bad word whispered will echo a hundred miles |
A bar of iron continually ground becomes a needle |
A bird can roost but on one branch, a mouse can drink not more than its fill from a river |
A book holds a house of gold |
A bride received into the home is like a horse that you have just bought; you break her in by constantly mounting her and continually beating her |
A camel standing amidst a flock of sheep. |
A clever person turns great troubles into little ones and little ones into none at all |
A closed mind is like a closed book; just a block of wood |
A country where flowers are priced so as to make them a luxury has yet to learn the first principles of civilization |
A crane standing amidst a flock of chickens |
A crisis is an opportunity riding the dangerous wind |
A day of sorrow is longer than a month of joy |
A dish of carrot hastily cooked may still has soil uncleaned off the vegetable. |
A dog in desperation will leap over a wall |
A fall into a ditch makes you wiser. |
