Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.
Better wear out shoes than sheets.
Beware of a silent dog and still water.
Anger is as a stone cast into a wasp's nest.
A table is not blessed if it has fed no scholars.
And old rat is a brave rat.
Anger without power is folly.
Anger can be an expensive luxury.
A son is a son till he gets him a wife,
But a daughter's a daughter the rest of your life.
