Man who scratches ass should not bite fingernails.
I am glad so many people can share the wit and wisdom of our ancestors. Please go on.
Memories are like a piece of flint at the tip of the sharp stick. No matter how fast the warrior runs, the little thing is just out of reach.
Even a man with thirty goats is not always happy.
“The ox is slow, but the earth is patient.”
“Man who goes to sleep with itchy butt wakes up with stinky finger.”
Maybe it was Confucius who said that.
Teacher!
Tie your own loincloth, and the students will fight for the honor to wrap the turban for you.
Leave no child behind. That way, you will have plenty of them when you reach your destination.
As you visit a woman, hang your loincloth outside and it will attract the flies out of the hut.
“Build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.”
A man made mud and mixed the straw and built the hut. “You did not build it”, sad the wise man.
A warrior came and killed the man, and took his wife and lived in the hut. “You do not live here” said the wise man.
The rain came and took the hut down. The warrior ran away to live in a tree, and the jackal killed the rest and ate them.
Nobody built that hut, son.
The early bird gets the worm. The early worm is not so fortunate.
Children of a gatherer eat worms and become cowardly like birds. Children of a hunter eat from the belly of an antelope and become happy like hyenas.
I wept that I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. Then I stole his shoes. Hey, he didn’t need them!
The rich man has two feet to put his shoes on.
And he has two hands to defend them.
Think, young man. Think.
