Some Arab Wisdom

Here is a number of wise Arab proverbs I came across that I thought I'd share here.

- Believe what you see and lay aside what you hear.

- A known mistake is better than an unknown truth.

- Call someone your lord and he'll sell you in the slave market.

- The fool has his answer on the tip of his tongue.

- The wound that bleedeth inwardly is the most dangerous.

- The wound of words is worse than the wound of swords.

- A house divided cannot stand.

- Seek counsel of him who makes you weep, and not of him who makes you laugh.

- Only the tent pitched by your own hands will stand.

- Ask the experienced rather than the learned.

- Think of the going out before you enter.
