A dimple in the chin; a devil within

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

A man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart, his next to escape the censures of the world

A physician is an angel when employed, but a devil when one must pay him.

Apples taste sweetest when they are going.

Art has no enemy except ignorance.

Be Prepare

Call on God, but row away from the rocks

Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends

Eat well, drink in moderation, and sleep sound, in these three good health abound

Even a hare will insult a dead lion.

Even after a bad harvest there must be sowing.

First deserve, and then desire

God gave teeth; He will give bread

He is rich who owes nothing

He that hath a head of wax must not walk in the sun.

He who is not lucky, let him not go to sea.

I have other fish to fry

If the lion's skill will not do, we must sew on that of the fox.

If the wind will not serve, take to the oars.

If three people say you are an ass, put on a bridle

It is not a fish until it is on the bank

Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.

Like a fish out of water.

Live your own life, for you will die your own death.

Lomhlaba Unzima, Lohmhlaba. [This world is a harsh place, this world.

Man is a wolf to man

Much coin, much care.

Night is the mother of council.

No folly like being in love.

No peacock envies another peacock his tail.

Nothing dries sooner than tears.

Old age is venerable.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives

Our last garment is made without pockets.

Send a fool that is not melancholy once a day.

The dog's kennel is not the place to keep a sausage

The wolf changes his coat but not his nature

Those who are once found to be bad are presumed to be so forever.

To the ass, or the sow, their own offspring appears the fairest in creation.

To whiten ivory with dye is to spoil nature by art.

Truth will be out.

Wait until it is night before saying that it has been a fine day

What one knows it is sometimes useful to forget

When the old dog barks it is time to watch.

Who lies with dogs shall rise up with fleas.
