“The first day a guest, the second day a guest, the third day a calamity.”

A friend advises in his interest, not yours.

Pearls are of no value in a desert.

Don’t judge any man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.

Among the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Fish and guests smell when they are three days old.

Dependence on another is perpetual disappointment.

Smiles that you broadcast, will always come back to you.

Better to have a diamond with a few small flaws than a rock that is perfect.

It is love that makes the impossible possible.

What was hard to bear is sweet to remember.

Every dog is a tiger in his own street.

Better a hundred enemies outside the house than one inside.

Greed is the root cause of sorrow.

There are three uncertainties: woman, wind, and wealth.

Happy is the woman whose husband does not speak to her.

Poverty destroys all virtues.
