FAMOUS PROVERBS A hyena cannot smell its own stench. However long the night, the dawn will break. Public before private and country before family. If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow. A silent mouth is sweet to hear. Justice delayed is justice denied. One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters. Teachers open the door but you must walk through it yourself. No wind, no waves. Talk doesn't cook rice. If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. All things are possible with God. Appetite comes with eating. The best of men are men at best. Brevity is the soul of wit. Circumstances alter cases. The early man never borrows from the late man. Glory is the shadow of virtue. Laugh at life; don't cry over it. When healthy, we all have wonderful advice for the sick. Nobody underestimates his own troubles. A man needs a good mirror to scrutinize his heart as well as his face. Empty sacks will never stand upright. Everybody's business is nobody's business. Fire is a good servant but a bad master. Life is short, but troubles make it longer. Fortune is glass; just when it gleams brightest it shatters. Nothing moves faster than gossip. A fellow who gets more than he deserves wants more than he gets. A fire can't throw a great light without burning something. Speech is given to many; intelligence to few. The silence of a stupid man looks like wisdom. Fools build houses and wise men live in them. He who is everywhere is nowhere. Anger is the one thing made better by delay. Tears for somebody else's troubles dry quickly. A liar better have a good memory.

every man would sweep his own door-step the city would soon be
clean.
