I like these ones.
Now, is the point of this to type actual proverbs or to type our own in translated Chinese style.

I just found these listed under the title of Chinese Proverbs. But...ya I guess you could do either of those.

OK. Here are some actual ones... with comments added.

A diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections. (shiney)

A rat who gnaws at a cat's tail invites destruction.

Dig the well before you are thirsty.

Do not employ handsome servants. (innuendo anyone?)

Don't open a shop unless you like to smile.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. (which is why I always ask)

He who is drowned is not troubled by the rain. (or anything else, for that matter)

He who strikes the first blow admits he's lost the argument. (wish high schoolers knew this one)

If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it. (works for me)

He who goes to bed with itchy bum wakes up with smelly finger.

Rape impossible: Woman with skirt up run much faster than man with pants down.

Why does it seem the Chinese have a monopoly on proverbs? Surely there must be some ancient Indian or Greek or whatnot wisdom? of course there is the Kama Sutra...

Another one in the fusion of this and my Silly Questions threads: do the Chinese speak of old American proverbs?

" if you wait long enough at the bank of the river, the body of your greatest enemy will float by..."

If you wait long enough at the bank, you will eventually see a teller.

I endorse this thread.

" So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak."
- Sun Tzu

" If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
- Sun Tzu
