Proverbs from the Kurdish* Culture

	It is more difficult to contend with oneself than with the world.
	See with your mind, hear with your heart.
	What the heart thinks, the mouth speaks.
	Many will show you the way once your cart has overturned.
	Do not throw the arrow which will return against you.
