“Don’t set sail on someone else’s star.”

If relatives help each other, what evil can hurt them?

No man can outwit their ancestors.

Wisdom is not like money to be tied up and hidden.

Even the maid has a family.

Home affairs are not talked about on the public square.

Don’t be so in love that you can’t tell when it’s raining.

All monkeys cannot hang from the same branch.

There is no fool who is disowned by his family.

A man’s ruin lies in his tongue.

A fish and bird may fall in love but the two cannot build a home together.

Confiding a secret to an unworthy person is like carrying grain in a bag with a hole.

The heart of the wise man lies quiet like limpid water.

In the moment of crisis, the wise build bridges, and the foolish build dams.

Knowledge without wisdom is like water in the sand.

If you heal the leg of a person, do not be surprised if they use it to run away.

The eye never forgets what the heart has seen.
