A PERSON DOES NOT LIVE BY THE SIDE OF A RIVER AND WASH THEIR HANDS WITH SPITTLE. ANYONE WITH SO MUCH WEALTH IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE SO MISERLY EVEN TO HIMSELF.

A PERSON DOES NOT CARRY AN ELEPHANT CARCAS ON HIS HEAD AND STILL POKE AROUND A CRICKET BURROW WITH HIS FEET. IT IS CONSIDERED QUITE UNBEFFITING AND GREEDY FOR ANYONE WHO IS CONSIDERED WELL OFF TO BE SEEN SCRAMBLING FOR "PETTY CRUMBS".

IF A MAN DOES NOT POSSESS ENOUGH WEALTH TO IMPRESS HIS IN-LAWS, HE SHOULD AT LEAST POSSESS SOME MEASURE OF HUMILITY. HUMILITY COSTS NOTHING BUT BUYS MORE.

WHEN IT RAINS, IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL NEVER STOP. WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS. WHEN THINGS WANT TO GO WRONG,THEY TEND TO HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE... BUT ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

WHAT ONE SOWS IS WHAT ONE REAPS.

THE RAIN THAT DRENCHED AN EAGLE JUST GAVE IT A BATH. SAME AS ABOVE.  

UNTIL YOU HAVE EXHAUSTED WHAT YOU ARE CHEWING, YOUR CHEEKS WILL NEVER GO TO REST.THAT MEANS THAT YOU NEVER STOP 'FIGHTING' UNTIL YOU HAVE DEFEATED WHATEVER CRISIS YOU ARE FACED WITH.

 A MAN DOES NOT SIT IN HIS OWN HOME AND BURST HIS TESTICLES. SAME MEANING AS ABOVE.

A PERSON DOES NOT STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A RIVER AND BE BLINDED BY SOAP LATHER. PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEIR SITUATION WITH WHAT OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE.(SAME CONTEXT AS ABOVE)

NO ONE THROWS A STONE IN THE DIRECTION THEY HAVE KEPT A WATER POT. (MESSAGE: NEVER TAKE A POSITION OR ACTION THAT MAY UNDERMINE YOUR OWN INTEREST; CONSIDER YOUR ACTIONS BEFORE HAND AS THEY MAY COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU).

THE WATER IN THE POTSHERD IS THERE FOR THE POPPY. (SAME AS ABOVE. YOU COULD NEVER WALK AWAY FROM YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, BECAUSE IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE UNTIL YOU DEAL WITH IT).

TWO COMBATANTS CAME TO THEIR DEATHS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO THIRD PARTY. (CONFLICTS USUALLY GET OUT OF HAND WHERE THERE ARE NO INTERESTED MEDIATORS).     

IF THE PALM SEEDLING DOES NOT DIE PREMATURELY, IT WILL ONE DAY AIM TO TOUCH THE SKY. (WHERE THERE IS LIFE, THERE IS HOPE).

IF DEATH DOES NOT CLAIM THE SACRIFICIAL YAM, IT WILL ONE DAY SPROUT A TENDRIL. SAME AS ABOVE.

NO ONE IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS THE OUTSIDER THAT WAILS LOUDER THAN THE BEREAVED.SAME INTERPRETATION AS ABOVE.
