Do not look at a visitor's face but at his stomach. He who listened to the woman suffered famine at harvest time. I am because we are; we are because I am. If you are ugly, learn how to dance. If you have no teeth, do not break the clay cooking pot. Jump over a log but not over your neighbour's word. The king lives way up where the stench of the poor cannot reach him. A belching toad portends rain.
