TURKISH PROVERBS
' A thousand friends are few; one foe. many. Contentment is an inexhaustible treasure.
The courteous learns his courtesy from the discourteous.
Today’s egg is better than tomorrow’s hen.
He that accomplishes his ends by deceit shall render up his soul with anguish. Satan’s friendship reaches to the prison door. The heart’s testimony is stronger than a thousand witnesses.
It is not by saying “Honey, honey” that sweetness comes into the mouth. One already wet does not fear the rain. Victories attended with little advantage will ruin rather than enlarge an empire.
