Words are like water—they can carry or capsize. A tongue can be a sword, a mouth a trap. As an ancient saying goes, “We take two years to learn to speak, but a lifetime to learn when to remain silent.”
Walls have ears, and windows have eyes. Guard your words and actions. They reflect who you are.
Borrow and return, and you may borrow again. Trust, once broken, is hard to mend.
Doing good is fine, but avoiding harm is wiser. Peace is found not in seeking blessings, but in steering clear of trouble.
Even small acts demand care. Eat slowly, walk steadily. Caution prevents falls from small stones.
Trust not the straight arrow; beware the hidden knife. Kindness is a choice—protect yours without losing it.
Leave room for others, and you leave room for yourself. Mercy is not weakness; it is foresight.
Overthinking and scheming often backfire. A generous heart attracts fortune; a cunning mind invites disaster.
Help others, and you help yourself. True gain comes from giving.
Greed knows no bounds, but wisdom sets limits. Three strikes, then stop. Know when enough is enough.
In every word and deed, choose restraint. In restraint, there is freedom.
