Do not trust the emir if his vizir cheat thee

Pass the bridge that your kinsmen have passed

The eye never forgets what the heart has seen

Darkness reigns at the foot of the lighthouse

Don t seek reality just put an end to opinions

Let your heart guide your head in evil matters

A knife-wound heals but a tongue-wound festers

Good advice is often annoying bad advice neve

Look down if you would know how high you stand

A guest should be blind in another man s house

A lean agreement is better than a fat judgment

An ounce of discretion is worth a pound of wit

Flattery makes friends and truth makes enemies

Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking

A mother understands what a child does not say
