Blood can never turn into water
Hit the iron while it's still hot
The eye can't go any higher than the brow
He who has a house of glass throws no people with stones
Ask an experienced, and don't ask a philosopher
Keep your white penny for your black day
A bird in the hand is better than ten on the tree
Stay with the measurer until he reaches the door
Stay away from the evil and sing to it
Don't ask the singer to sing until he wishes to sing by himself
Hit two birds with one stone
Your tongue is your horse, if you take care of it it'll take care of you, and if you offend it will offend you
Keep your hand tight, you won't bleed and you won't weep
Stretch your legs as long as your quilt can cover
The eye can see, the hand cannot reach
Seven trades and luck is lost
The unlucky and the hopeless have come together
He who has a flask on his head can keep touching it
He who has Henna can use it for his donkey's ear
Turn the jar onto its mouth, the girl will resemble her mom
He's as tall as a palm tree and his brains as small as a sheep's
My heart goes out for my son like fire, and my son's heart goes out for me like stone
A monkey is a deer in his mom's eye
The further you are, the dearer you become
A dog's tail will never straighten out
Nobody will plough the land except its cows
One hand can’t clap
Your close neighbor is better than your faraway brother
The empty gives the way to the full
The house is our fathers and the strangers came to kick us out
Nock on the door before entering
Do well and throw it in the sea
There will be a day for the oppressor when he will be crushed like garlic
Don’t drink from a well and throw a stone into it
This who digs an evil hole will fall into it
