The Branch That Bears
The branch that bears the most fruit bends itself thankfully towards the ground.
The branch that bears the most fruit bends itself thankfully towards the ground.
Take from the hungry, give it to the satisfied.
One finger cannot lift a pebble.
Once I had the strength but no wisdom; now I have the wisdom but no strength.
The hand that gives is also the one that receives.
Make bread while the oven is hot.
Once a friend, always a friend.
You can’t take blood from a stone.
You can close the city gates but not the mouths of men.
The tongue of men is the whip of god.
There is water in the jug, and we’re going around thirsty.
Thick body, weak soul.
