“ കൊഞ്ചൻ തുള്ളിയാൽ മുട്ടോളം, ഏറെ തുള്ളിയാൽ ചട്ടിയോളം”
English Translation:
If a prawn leaps, it reaches knee-height; if it leaps too far, it lands squarely in the frying pan. (A weakling’s bravado has very narrow limits; reckless overreaching leads straight to self-destruction.)

“ വന്നതുപോലെ പോയി”
English Translation:
Departed just as easily as it arrived. (Easy come, easy go; gains acquired without labor or substance vanish just as swiftly as they appeared.)
