{{quotation|''There is no hand to catch time. To give jewels to a [[donkey]] is as stupid as giving a [[eunuch]] to a woman. He who dreams for too long will become like his shadow. To control the mind is like trying to control a drunken monkey that has been bitten by a [[scorpion]]. Whoever eats a [[pancake]] never counts the holes in it. The thief that is not caught is a [[King]]. When you are in difficulty, go to the house of your friend — not your sister’s. He who does not climb, will not fall either. When an [[elephant]] is in trouble, even a frog will kick him. The [[man]] who has mounted an elephant will not fear the bark of a [[dog]]. What good is giving sugar to the dead? When a [[camel]] is at the foot of a [[mountain]] only then judge his height. It is hard for an ex-king to become a night watchman. Where the needle goes, the thread follows. Don’t eat your [[bread]] on someone Else’s table.''}}
