* ''IT IS A CHALLENGE TO ALIGHT FROM A TIGER'S BACK.''
Be careful of taking on more than you can handle. Once you take on a thorny task. You'll find that it's difficult to get yourself out of it. It is the same with difficult situations.
* ''A BRIDE DOES NOT PIERCE HER EARS ON HER WEDDING DAY.''
Procrastination is a fault, like a bride who waits till the last minute do things that should have been done long ago. Waiting till the last minute is more likely to result in disaster.
* ''IT IS A WASTE TO ADD LEGS TO A SNAKE.''
Aim for just enough, rather than too much. If you do something that is unnecessary, whether it be to impress another or improve what is already good, you might only spoil what you have already done.
* ''WORDS ARE EMPTY, BUT THE WRITING-BUSH LEAVES TRACES.''
Spoken words can always be taken back by the speaker, and whatever is spoken will soon be forgotten. But whatever is writtin down in print, stays there forever.
* ''A PERSON CANNOT FAST JUST BECAUSE OF A FEAR OF CHOKING.''
You can't refuse to do something just because there is a slight chance to fail. You must always be ready to take risks, because only then will you have a chance of succeeding.
* ''IT IS BETTER TO TRUST THE EYES RATHER THAN THE EARS.''
Do not be so easily deceived that you let yourself in for a troublesome situation. In this case, your eyes will be a better purveyor of the truth than your ears will ever be.
* ''BETTER A LIVE BEGGAR THAN A DEAD KING.''
What is the used of having riches and glory if one is already dead? The opportunities for one to make good of himself in this life are numerous, as long as he is alive.
* ''FUEL ALONE WILL NOT LIGHT A FIRE.''
Oftentimes we think we need only one object in order to make things work. But it is only in the cooperation of others that we can make our goals come alive.
* ''HUNGER IS FELT BY A SLAVE AND HUNGER IS FELT BY A KING.''
The world may not be equal when it comes to material wealth, but there are no distinctions when it comes to problems. From the riches to the poorest, everything then becomes equal.
* ''THE GREATEST GIFT THAT ONE CAN GIVE TO ANOTHER IS TO REVEAL ONESELF.''
Each and everyone of us has something unique to offer to the world. What better gift, then, to give someone a part of our true selves?
