Proverbs

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Not everything which is bad comes to hurt us.

Death is a shadow that always follows the body.

I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.

It's tough trying to keep your feet on the ground, your head above the clouds, your nose to the grindstone, your shoulder to the wheel, your finger on the pulse, your eye on the ball and your ear to the ground.

It is better to trust the eyes rather than the ears.

The eye is the mirror of the soul.

The end justifies the means.
