Lebanese Proverbs
Sayings of Lebanese origin It's a goat even if it flies. The son of your son is yours, the son of your daughter is not. If you fall in love let her be a beauty; if you should steal, let it be a camel. You say it's a he-goat, he asks you to milk it. Don't come near the scorpion, but sleep around the snake. Hygiene is two thirds of health. The camel limped because of his lips. You become like that which you own. A dog will always be a dog, even if he is raised by lions. A cemetery never refuses a corpse. Do today what you want to postpone until tomorrow. The son of an old man is an orphan, and his wife is a widow. He who slaps himself on the face should not cry ouch. If you are too sparing with the cat's food, the rats will eat your ears. Good advice once was worth a camel; now that it is free of charge, no one takes it. We've been craving chicken, so we ate it with its feathers. A dressed up lie is worth more than a badly told truth....
