No camel route is long with good company.

If you speak the truth, keep a foot in the stirrup.

He that speaks without care shall remember with sorrow.

He that speaks, sows; he that hears, reaps.


A knife wound heals; a wound caused by words does not.

He that considers in prosperity; will be less afflicted in adversity.

He that conceals his grief finds no remedy for it.

He that converses not knows nothing.

Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.

Do not search for a calf under an ox.

Which one speaks to you?
Which one might you 'keep' and ponder, maybe repeat as a blessing to a friend who needs to think deeply?
