Chinese Proverb: Behind an able man, there are always able men
English proverb: everyone must row with the oars he has
It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness
When a mouse laughs at a cat, there’s a hole nearby
Big mouthfuls often choke
The frog tried to look as big as the elephant & burst
If you try to clean others you’ll waste away like soap in the process
If you want to please everybody, you’ll die before your time
When spider-webs unite they can tie up the lion
He who builds to every man’s advice will have a crooked house
I murmured because I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet
Everyone is kneaded out of the same dough – but not baked in the same oven
Reputation through a thousand years may depend on the conduct of a single moment.
He who helps someone up the hill gets closer to the top himself
He who does not pray when the sun shines will not know how to pray when the clouds roll in
He who growls all day lives a dog’s life
He who tunes up in the morning stays in harmony all day
He who kneels to pray will not stumble
He who has no battles will have no victories
