The bell rings loudest in your own home. You must eat the elephant one bite at a time. If farmers do not cultivate their fields, the people in the town will die of hunger. Little by little the bird makes its nest. A single bracelet does not jingle Do not hurl a lance if you cannot aim correctly.
True power comes through cooperation and silence.
You cannot shave a man s head in his absence. When it rains, the roof always drips the same way. When the snake is in the house, one need not discuss the matter at length. Before shooting, one must aim. The old woman looks after the hens and the hens look after the old woman.
