Two wrongs don’t make a right.

There is no silver here: three hundred taels.

Mair by luck than good guiding.

The poor man’s aye put to the warst.

Capture all opportunities.

A merry life forgets father and mother.

Knowledge, humbles a great person, astonishes the common, and puffs up the small.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

Misfortunes, when asleep, are not to be awakened.

The long awaited easter feast is over in one day.

Advice given in the midst of a crowd is loathsome.

Far from jupiter, far from his thunder.

If you’re ridin’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there.

A devotee’s face, and a cat’s claws.

Don’t trust a hungry man to watch your rice.

Belles are not for the beaux.

A little man often casts a long shadow.

Nothing is blacker than the pan.

Ye’se get your brose out of the lee side of the pot.
