However full the house, the hen finds a corner to lay in.
Only a monkey understands a monkey.
If you climb up a tree, you must climb down the same tree.
A big fish is caught with big bait.
He who refuses a gift will not fill his barn.
Quarrels end; but words once spoken never die.
If a single hair has fallen from your head, you are not yet bald.
He who upsets a thing should know how to rearrange it.
A cow must graze where she is tied.
An orange never bears a lime.
Invite some people into your parlor and they will come into your bedroom.
The sweet rice is eaten quickly.
An elephant's head is no load for a child.
Do not tell the man who is carrying you that he stinks.
It is the wandering dog that finds the old bone.
To try and to fail is not laziness.
