| A dead man is mourned seven days a fool, his whole lifetime. |
| If you don't want anyone to find out, don't do it. |
| Never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time. |
| The gatekeepers are worse than the directors. |
| When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground. |
| Always leave a little room for a mistake. |
| The go-between wears out a thousand sandals. |
| A man who continually laments is not heeded. |
| If you do not step on the dog's tail, he will not bite you. |
| Never speak ill of the dead. |
