Man has ten thousand plans for himself; God but one for him. Man cries, “Now, now!” God says, “Not yet, not yet.”
A good man protects three villages.
Let your ideas be round and your conduct square.
Right heart need not fear evil seeming.
God drives no man to despair.
Misfortunes issue where diseases enter, — at the mouth.
What is whispered in the ear is heard miles away.
The gods cannot help one who loses opportunities.
One day of wedded life deserves a hundred days of kindness.
