Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped.

A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything

Indecision is like a stepchild: if he does not wash his hands, he is called dirty, if he does, he is wasting water.

Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet.

Whatever accomplishment you boast of in the world, there is someone better than you.

If you refuse to be made straight when you are green, you will not be made straight when you are dry.

If you are too smart to pay the doctor, you had better be too smart to get ill.

Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter.

Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.

When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers.
