A horse cannot gain weight if not fed with extra fodder during the night; a man cannot become wealthy without earnings apart from his regular salaries.
If you do not study hard when young you'll end up bewailing your failures as you grow up.
If a son is uneducated, his dad is to blame.
If you have never done anything evil, you should not be worrying about devils to knock at your door.
An inch of time is an inch of gold but you can't buy that inch of time with an inch of gold.
Lift a boulder only to drop on your own feet. (try to please everyone only to harm yourself)
One monk shoulders water by himself; two can still share the labor among them. When it comes to three, they have to go thirsty.
Only when all contribute their firewood can they build up a strong fire.
An overcrowded chicken farm produce fewer eggs.
Pick up a sesame seed but lose sight of a watermelon.
Shed no tears until seeing the coffin.
A tiger never returns to his prey he did not finish off.
When you are poor, neighbors close by will not come; once you become rich, you'll be surprised by visits from relatives afar.
You can't catch a cub without going into the tiger's den.
