“Every dog is a tiger in his own street.”

Any water in the desert will do.

The worst kind of poverty is to have many debts.

Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow but a vision.

Don’t eat your bread on someone Else’s table.

Deceive me about the price but not about the goods.

Walking slowly, even the donkey will reach Lhasa.

Great minds discuss ideas, medium minds discuss events, and little minds discuss people.

Where the needle goes, the thread follows.

If they don’t exchange a few words, father and son will never know one another.

Patience is the most beautiful prayer.

Follow the river and you will get to the sea.

You do not stumble over a mountain, but you do over a stone.

Stolen sugar is the sweetest.

There is no hand to catch time.

Love from someone who is bad is worse than his hatred.

When you have an ass for a friend, expect nothing but kicks.
