Malay Proverbs


If there is no reason, why would the tempua bird nest on the low branches?
To bend a bamboo, start when it is a shoot.
Where there is sugar, there are bound to be ants.
The more sorrow one encounters, the more joy one can contain.
You cannot get at the precious sago without first breaking the bark.
Don’t use an axe to embroider.
Fear to let fall a drop and you will spill a lot.
Feasting is the physician’s harvest.
The more shoots, the more leaves.
The existence of the sea means the existence of pirates.
Smack a tray of water and you get to wash your face.
One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind.
If you have, give; if you lack, seek.
The body pays for a slip of the foot, and gold pays for a slip of the tongue.
