A thousand curses never tore a shirt.

A wise man associating with the vicious becomes an idiot; a dog travelling with good men becomes a rational being.

All strangers are relations to each other.

Better a handful of dry dates and content therewith than to own the Gate of Peacocks and be kicked in the eye by a broody camel.

Better a hundred enemies outside the house than one inside.

If I were to trade in winding sheets, no one would die.

If the camel once get his nose in the tent, his body will follow.

If you buy cheap meat, when it boils you smell what you have saved.

Let the sword decide after the stratagem has failed.

Live together like brothers and do business like strangers.
