If things are getting easier, maybe you're headed downhill. Only when you have crossed the river can you say the crocodile has a lump on his snout. By the time the fool has learned the game, the players have dispersed. Fire and gunpowder do not sleep together. A crab does not beget a bird.
Hate has no medicine.
One camel does not make fun of another camel's hump. It is the calm and silent water that drowns a man. One falsehood spoils a thousand truths. It is the fool's sheep that break loose twice. One cannot both feast and become rich.
