New Proverbs

I have the greatest Arabic tutor! He brings me such interesting things to read every week. This week it was one of my favorites: proverbs! I was surprised that a few listed on my sidebar were in the ones he brought me. He was surprised I knew them (just like he's always surprised when I pull a fast colloquial phrase on him). Here are a few of my new favorites:

If you want to confuse a man, give him a choice.

If your friend is honey, don't lick all of him

Patience is the key to relief

Keep away from trouble and sing to it (how's that for a new take on the Siren?)

Let your money be insulted but not yourself
