| Turkish proverb
A defeated wrestler is not tired of wrestling.A heart in love with beauty never grows old.A heart in love with beauty never grows old.A knife wound heals; a wound caused by words does not.A man does not seek his luck, luck seeks its man.A person does not seek luck; luck seeks the person.A single advantage is worth a thousand sorceries.A thousand regrets do not cancel one debt.A true word needs no oath.A weapon is an enemy even to its owner.Abundance is from activity.An ass does not appreciate fruit compote.An ember burns where it falls.An Englishman will burn his bed to catch a flea.Be thine enemy an ant, see in him an elephant.Call the bear "Uncle" till you are safe across the bridge.Do not search for a calf under an ox.Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.God postpones, he does not overlook.Good actions are never lost.Good advice is given; good esteem is no given.Having two ears and one tongue, we should listen twice as much as we speak.He that conceals his grief finds no remedy for it.He that falls by himself never cries.He that speaks truth must have one foot in the stirrup.He who gives little gives from his heart; he who gives much gives from his wealth.He who has no bread has no authority.If you speak the truth, keep a foot in the stirrup.Keep the tongue in your mouth a prisoner.Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone, and more fragile than a rose. Measure a thousand times and cut once.No camel route is long with good company.No matter how far you have gone on a wrong road, turn back. No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back. No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back.Patience is the key to paradise.Sorrow is to the soul what the worm is to wood.The baker's child goes hungry.The cheese vessel will not sail merely by words.The devil tempts all, but the idle man tempts the devil.The mosquito is without a soul, but its whizzing vexes the soul.The plumber's house always leaks.The raven sees its chickens as falcons.Things never go so well that one should have no fear, and never so ill that one should have no hope. |
