The bad plowman quarrels with his ox.

It is easier to pull down than to build up.

He that can see a louse as far away as China is unconscious of an elephant on his nose.

Tall trees catch much wind.

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.
