In Vietnam:
"Nuoc chay da mon" : if the water continues to drop, even stone will change shape. This means you have to be patient.
"Mat bo moi lo lam rao": after you lost several cows, then you just start thinking about building fences. This means people should always take care of the worst scenario.
"Mot mieng khi doi bang mot goi khi no": A bite when you are hungry is the same as a pack of food when you are full
"Khon nha dai cho": you are always smart at your home, but when you come to the market, you are just a dumb one.

Love is not looking at each other but looking together at a place.
Fools can only see fools.
You get beans where you plant beans.
No parents can beat their children (means parents will eventually do anything for their children)

Oh woops, translation:

"What man eats, he shits"
It means, whatever you eat, you shit.

Ooh, I just saw this movie and it had this very cool quote (meaning this won't be from my country but... anyways), I will post the original saying then but it doesn't apply to all people.
From a very inspiring movie
"I am just a simple monk, when I try to be good to you - you see yourself"
|
Some more
- The empty bucket always sounds loud: Which means who talk the most shit is the one who has empty knowledge
- Until your house is on fire, then you know how many rats there are in your house (they will run out): Which mean when you are in trouble, you will know which of your friends is a true friend and which of your friend is an asshole.

wise words
dont jump onto your bed when its dark and you cant see where your bed is actually are - LMBWY
|
dont put all your eggs in one basket - means keep your options open, if u invest everything in one way and it fails ur fucked
a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush - im not really sure actually, i think this is kind of a stupid one. i guess it means having one of something is better than not having two of something. which is A LITTLE OBVIOUS -__-;
don't count your chickens before they're hatched - means don't get ahead of yourself or assume things will come out the way you expect because they may not
a stitch in time saves 9 - refers to a stitch in clothing, like fixing a hole. this is really the only saying we have that i think is particularly wise. it means if u take care of something at the right time it can be very easily mended but if u let the problem remain it will usually get worse.

I will teach you some classique french SHADOK sayings which is highest form of french culture in the 70's.
By continiously trying, you end up succeding; The more you fail, the bigger are your chances to win!
To have the less possible amount of unhappy people, always beat the same.
If there is no solution, there is no problem.
When you dont know where you are going, you have to go there as fast as possible to know where you are going!

Then some more classical:
Better to be druken than a jerk, it doesn't last forever.
this one is very french:
We will drink milk when cow will eat grape.
Beer is the proof that god exist and that he loves us.
One very very old greek saying (I think it is from Aristotleteleslesles)
Never trust a chinese saying.

Don't drink and drive, or else you'll spill your beer and be brought in for alcohol abuse <---If you get it you should be able to laugh lol

if you fail try and try again?
if you set your goals low, you will never fail

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Then the quote I use, too. That one's really true. In case you don't get it, it means, you don't know how good something is until you don't have it anymore.
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens." Not sure how famous it is, but Jimi Hendrix said it, I'm sure a lot of people have heard it.
"Well done is better than well said."
"A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; an optomist sees opportunity in every difficulty." Winston Churchill
"Many of life's failures are people who didn't realize how close to success they were when they gave up." Thomas Edison
"Success comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it." It means that there are people always looking for an easy way to success, but those who truly succeed are the ones doing something all the time.
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur." - Vince Lombardi I guess it's saying that trying your absolute hardest at everything you do is more important than succeeding, because even if you lose, at least you know you gave it your all.
I'm not sure that all of those are "famous" quotes, like, "don't count your chickens before they hatch," but they kind of fit along with those sort, but not so household...

well...might as well say a quote everyone knows....!
this is used for going to camp or some shit when everyones asleep you dont want to wake them up no sir ree!
you just woke up, going to the bathroom
"If its yellow keep it mellow" - means that if you just piss, its not worth it to flush cause youre going to wake everyone up
"if its brown flush it down"- crap, literally, no one wants to wake up in the fresh air of shit. so flush that shit, literally, down.
"if its red, your probably dead" - just kidding -_-;
well thats it
