Just a few more

Here's just a few more Persian Proverbs my mother wants me to remember in the future. She is very strict, as you can see.

* "A broken hand works, but not a broken heart.

* The wise man sits on the hole in his carpet.

* Do little things now; so shall big things come to thee by and by asking to be done.

* A bad wound heals but a bad word doesn't.

* Once I had the strength but no wisdom, now I have the wisdom but no strength.

* Forget not Death, O man! for thou may'st be Of one thing certain - he forgets not thee

* Tis the same to him who wears a shoe, as if the whole earth covered with leather.

* It is nothing for one to know something unless another knows you know it.

* He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool, shun him; He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child, teach him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep, wake him. He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise, follow him.

* I murmured because I had not shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.

* Every man goes down to his death bearing in his hands only that which he has given away.

* Silence betokens consent.

* What fear has he whose account is clean?

* He who has been bitten by a snake fears a piece of string.

* Good poets are like angels of Heaven."
