Armenian proverbs are very shrewd
and all have a flavor OF their own. A
few of them follow:
Be learned, but be taken for fool.
The fox's last hole is the furlier's
shop.
The sermon of poor priest is not
heard.
Everyone places wood under his
own pot.
The day can dawn without the
cocks growing
Dine with thy friend. but do no
business with him.
II you cannot become rich become
the neighbor of a rich man.
What can the rose do in the sea
and the violet before the fire?
The mother who has daughter al
ways has hand in her purse.
OF grumbler: Everyone's grain
grows straight; mine grows crooked.
OF an impatient man: He feeds the
hen with one hand and with the other
he looks for her eggs.
