It is never a river’s fault that one cannot swim.

If you do not sharpen your axe, it will take twice the same amount of time to cut down the same amount of trees.

A wolf only attends a rabbit’s funeral to eat its young.

A fish is a genius in water, an eagle is a genius in air, a fox is a genius on land, and a sage is a genius in life. 

It is only safe to mock a crocodile when you have crossed the river.

If you want to meet fish, you go in water, and if you want to meet birds, visit the sky.
