“Jack of all trades, master of none.”

The walls have ears.

The bull that is used to the sun shivers by the light of the moon.

The bad calligrapher is choosy about his brushes.

Better in the grave than be a slave.

You cannot strike a face that is smiling.

It is hard to get angry at a smiling face.

Where there are no tigers, a wild cat is very self-important.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

The frog forgets that he was once a tadpole.

One moment is worth more than a thousand gold pieces.

Going day is the fair day.

A great river does not refuse any small streams.

Tall branches are apt to be broken.

Things are never where you want them.

A loaf of bread is better than the song of many birds.

Cross even a stone bridge after you’ve tested it.
