“ സൂക്ഷിച്ചാൽ ദുഃഖി(ഖേദി)ക്കെണ്ടാ”
English Translation:
If you exercise caution, you will not have to grieve. (Better safe than sorry; careful foresight, vigilance, and prudence prevent bitter regrets.)

“ കപ്പച്ചീര കൊഴുത്തെന്നുവച്ച് കപ്പപ്പാമരമാമൊ”
English Translation:
Just because water spinach grows lush and thick, can it ever serve as a ship’s mast? (Superficial plumpness or minor growth cannot substitute for real structural strength and timber.)
