“If you buy what you don’t need, you steal from yourself.”

One must take matters into one’s own hands.

The water you collect from the stream teaches you about its source.

Don’t sell the pelt until you’ve killed the bear.

What matter if I suffer, if only my neighbor suffers too.

The walls have ears.

Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things will be yours.

Injury makes you wise.

Better late than never.

In the realm of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

One swallow does not a summer make.

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
