The fruit of haste is repentance.
That man is like the _Kaaba_; he goes nowhere but every one comes to him. The tongue of a fool is the key to his destruction. The needle clothes others but is itself naked. If the owl were game to eat, the gunner would not have passed by the ruined castle. Happy is the man whose enemy is wise. Time is stingy of honour. The best generosity is quick. If your neighbour is honey, don't lick him all up. If you don't know a man's parents look at his appearance. What a strange world if all wool were red! Fall but don't bawl. Your enemy will love you when the ass becomes a doctor. Wait, donkey, till the grass grows. A loaned garment is not warm. |
