| Persian proverb
A bad wound heals but a bad word doesn't.A broken hand works, but not a broken heart.A stone thrown at the right time is better than gold given at the wrong time.A thief is a king till he's caught.Be a lion at home and a fox abroad.By a sweet tongue and kindness, you can drag an elephant with a hair.Courteous men learn courtesy from the discourteous.Do little things now; so shall big things come to thee by and by asking to be done.Do little things now; so shall big things come to thee by and by asking to be done.Do well the little things now; so shall great things come to thee by and by asking to be done.Epigrams succeed where epics fail.Every man goes down to his death bearing in his hands only
that which he has given away.
-Every man goes down to his death bearing in his hands only that which he has given away.Go and wake up your luck.He gives a party with bath-water.He who want a rose must respect the thorn.He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.I used to feel sorry for myself because I had no shoes until I met a man who was dead.If a man would live in peace, he should be blind, deaf, and dumb.If fortune turns against you, even jelly breaks your tooth.If the teacher be corrupt, the world will be corrupt.Luck is infatuated with the efficient.No lamp burns till morning.Taking the first step with the good thought, the second with the good word, and the third with the good deed, I enter paradise.The best memory is that which forgets nothing but injuries. Write kindness in marble and write injuries in the dust.The blind man is laughing at the bald head.The doctor must heal his own bald head.Use your enemy's hand to catch a snake. Walls have mice and mice have ears.We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling. May we so live that we go out of this world smiling while everybody around us is weeping. Whatever is in the heart will come up to the tongue.Whatever you sow, you reap.You can't pick up two melons with one hand. |
