| Arabic Proverb
A chameleon does not leave one tree until he is sure of another.A foolish man may be known by six things: Anger without cause, speech without profit, change without progress, inquiry without object, putting trust in a stranger, and mistaking foes for friends.A friend advises in his interest, not yours.A horse of good breed is not dishonored by his saddle.A known mistake is better than an unknown truth.A mouth that praises and a hand that kills.A secret is like a dove: when it leaves my hand it takes wing.A wise man associating with the vicious becomes an idiot; a dog traveling with good men becomes a rational being.After dinner, rest awhile, after supper, walk a mile. Arrogance diminishes wisdom.Ask the experienced rather than the learned.At the narrow passage there is no brother and no friend.Believe what you see and lay aside what you hear.Call someone your lord and he'll sell you in the slave market.Do not buy either the moon or the news, for in the end they will both come out.Eat whatever thou likest, but dress as others do.Eat whatever you like, but dress as others do.Every ambitious man is a captive and every covetous one a pauper.Every day of your life is a page of your history.Every sun has to set.Give a man some cloth and he'll ask for some lining.He fasted for a whole year and then broke his fast with an onion.He who peeps at the neighbor's window may chance to lose his eyes.He who plants thorns must never expect to gather roses.He who sees the calamity of other people finds his own calamity light.If a poor man ate it, they would say it was because of his stupidity.Many are the roads that do not lead to the heart.Meaningless laughter is a sign of ill-breeding.Measure your guilt, then stretch your legs.No crowd ever waited at the gates of patience.Patience is beautiful.Proverbs are the lamp of speech.Seek counsel of him who makes you weep, and not of him who makes you laugh.Seven trades but no luck.The ass went seeking for horns and lost his ears.The dogs may bark but the caravan moves on.The hand of God is with the group.The knife of the family does not cut.The mind is for seeing, the heart is for hearing.The mother of the coward does not worry about him.There are no fans in hell.Wishing does not make a poor man rich.Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble. Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble.Your tongue is like a horse--if you take care of it, it takes care of you; if you treat it badly, it treats you badly. |
