When your son is young,
discipline him; when he grows older, be a brother to him.
Let
trouble
(evil)
alone, and trouble will let you alone.
Exert effort, you shall
be rewarded.
(tire yourself out for the sake of something and you
shall get it.)
When the wolf comes for
the sheep, the dog goes to
defecate.
An intelligent deaf-mute
is better than an ignorant person who can speak.
If you conduct yourself
properly, fear no one.
The last
resort is the hot
rod.
Towards the end of the
night you shall hear shrill cries.
Have
faith in a stone and
you
can
will
be
healed.
Farther than earth from
heaven.
The son of a son is dear,
the son of a daughter a stranger.
The son of your son is
yours, the son of your daughter is not.
A man with one plan (lit.
intention) goes out (to execute it); a man with two plans becomes
perplexed.
Tire out your body, but
not your mind.
What luck! It is
God-sent. (lit. It came, and God brought it.)
(When) They came to shoe
the
horse
of the sultan, the beetle (came along) and stuck out her foot.
If your messenger
tarries, expect good.
If you come back from a
journey, offer your family (something)
though
it be only a stone.
