When building a house, don't measure the timbers in the forest.
To the patient man will come all the riches of the world.
Though the palm tree in the jungle is big, who knows how big its yield will be?
Only when the tree is big and strong can you tether a cow to it.
If the walls were adamant, gold would take the town.
If the townspeople are happy, look for the chief.
Don't look where you fell, but where you slipped.
Do not eat your chicken and throw its feathers in the front yard.
A little rain each day will fill the rivers to overflowing.
