You forbid us to shoot arrows, so with what shall we repel invaders? In the past the Boko were repelled with catapaults.

It is the person who uses his/her money to enjoy life that lives well.

Whoever has riches should act like a king; what kind of feat can a miser perform with money?

It is the person who knows how to use wealth that wealth attaches to.

Whoever would have children of her own must rejoice with those who already have.

Whoever has reached the top, let him or her pull his or her friend by the hand; whoever has food to eat, let him or her share it with his or her friend.

Whoever asks about a matter genuinely wishes to know its causes.

A person whom one does a favor but who shows no gratitude is like a robber who has stolen one's goods.

The person who adorns herself with beads has done the ultimate in self-beautifying; the person who gives one a child (in marriage) has done the ultimate in favor.

Whoever defames others defames himself or herself.

The pigeon hides its own disgrace and goes ridiculing the chicken.
