LF YOU PLAN TO SLAUGHTER AN ANIMAL BUT FAIL TO NOTIFY THE KNIFE, DO YOU INTEND TO BUTCHER IT WITH YOUR FINGER NAILS?

OFFER A HAND-SHAKE TO THE LEPER AND HE DECIDES ON A HUG INSTEAD....(GIVE THE STREAM AN INCH AND IT CLAIMS A MILE).

LOOKING AT THE MOUTH OF THE ELDERLY, YOU MIGHT THINK THEY NEVER ONCE SUCKLED AT THEIR MOTHERS' BREASTS. A LAMENTATION OF THE CRIPPLING EFFECT OF OLD AGE.

UNDERRATE THE LITTLE POT AND IT WOULD PUT OUT THE COOKING FIRE. (NEVER UNDERRATE ANYONE, WHATEVER THEIR STATURE).

THE KING THAT OUTLAWED A FART (IN HIS KINGDOM) HAS PUBLICLY DEFECATED ON HIMSELF! (NEVER MAKE A RULE FOR OTHERS WHICH YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP YOURSELF).

NO ONE CITES AN EXAMPLE WITH A WAR THAT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG. A CALL TO SHOW MORE CONSIDERATION WHEN RECALLING PAST EVENTS AS IT MAY OFFEND OTHERS OR RE-OPEN FORGOTTEN WOUNDS.

WHEN A TYRANT PERSISTS IN HIS EVIL WAYS, SOMEDAY, SOMEONE WITH ENOUGH COURAGE WILL WEAR A BASKET (A MASK) AND TELL HIM OFF.

WHEN AN ANIMAL IS SLAUGHTERED AND NO VULTURE ATTENDS THE SCENE,THEN YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY AMISS IN THE LAND OF THE SPIRITS.USED WHEN SOMEONE IS CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT FROM THEIR USUAL EVENTS.

MAY THE HAWK PERCH; MAY THE EAGLE PERCH TOO. WHICHEVER WOULD OBSTRUCT THE OTHER,MAY THEY LOSE THEIR WINGS. A CALL FOR MORE TOLERANCE IN SOCIETY.

THE ANT'S GOAT ATE THE ANT'S OKRA.WHEN THE CULPRIT OF A CRIME BELONGS TO THE VICTIM OF HIS CRIME, THERE IS USUALLY NO RECOMPENSE FOR SUCH AN OFFENCE.

NO ONE SHIELDS A PREGNANCY WITH THEIR BARE HAND....(NOTHING IS HIDDEN UNDER THE SUN).

GOD DRIVES AWAY FLIES FROM A TAILESS COW. PROVIDENCE DEFENDS THE DEFENCELESS.

 IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO LOOK FOR THE BLACK GOAT WHILE IT IS STILL DAY TIME (AS IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND IN THE DARK WHEN NIGHT FALLS). A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE.  

THE PYTHON IS STUCK WITH ITS VICTIM. WHEN YOU UNDERTAKE AN INSURMOUNTABLE TASK FOR WHICH THERE IS NO EASY EXIT,THE FEELING CAN BE REALLY OVERWHELMING.

THE SWALLOW BIRD, SAID HE LEARNED TO FLY WITHOUT PERCHING SINCE THE HUNTER LEARNED TO SHOOT WITHOUT AIMING. UNUSUAL CHALLENGES CALL FOR UNUSUAL TACTICS.

WHEN A HERO IS KILLED IN A DOMESTIC FEUD, HIS VACUUM WILL BE FELT ON THE DAY OF AN EXTERNAL BATTLE. THE TRUE WORTH OF A HERO IS NEVER FULLY APPRECIATED IN HIS LIFEIME.

A COW NEVER QUITE KNOWS THE VALUE OF ITS TAIL UNTIL IT IS CHOPPED OFF. WE DO NOT ALWAYS APPRECIATE WHAT WE HAVE UNTIL WE LOSE THEM.

 A STRANGER'S CORPSE HAS THE LOOK OF A BUNCH OF FIREWOODS. (WE ARE NOT USUALLY MOVED BY OTHER PEOPLE'S MISFORTUNES UNLESS IT BE CLOSER TO HOME).
