| Afghan Proverb
A lame crab walks straight.A little water is a sea to an ant.A porcupine speaking to its baby says, "O my child of velvet."A river is made drop by drop.A river is not contaminated by having a dog drink from it.Allah has said, "Start moving so that I may start blessing."Blood cannot be washed out with blood.Cats don't catch mice to please God.Debt severs love.Don't be a thief and you won't fear the king.Don't show me the palm tree, show me the dates.Five fingers are brothers but not equals.Five of them would run from the bang of one empty gun.Give even an onion graciously.Having been bitten by a snake, he's afraid of a rope.If a forest catches fire, both the dry and the wet will burn up.If you deal in camels, make the doors high.If you want to keep camels, have a big enough door.In an ant colony dew is a flood.It's the same donkey, but with a new saddle.No one says his own buttermilk is sour.The mud of one country is the medicine of another.The potter drinks water from a broken cup.There are twenty-five uncaught sparrows for a penny.What you see in yourself is what you see in the world.You can't hide the sun with two fingers. |
