He who cannot dance will say: “The drum is bad.”

He who is unable to dance says that the yard is stony.

Do not call the forest that shelters you a jungle.

Do not tell the man who is carrying you that he stinks.

Worthless people blame their karma.

Those who have free seats at a play hiss first.

Do not remove a fly from your friend’s forehead with a hatchet.

It takes little effort to watch a man carry a load.

A man’s first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart, his next to escape the censures of the world.

If you do not agree with the phases of the moon, get a ladder and repair it.
