“ കോലേൽ പഴന്തുണിചുറ്റിയപോലെ”
English Translation:
Like wrapping a ragged old cloth around a stick. (A shoddy, flimsy makeshift; or an emaciated, pathetic figure swathed in ill-fitting garments.)

“ മണ്ണുതിന്നെങ്കിലും മണ്ണേൽ കിടക്കണം”
English Translation:
Even if reduced to eating dirt, sleep upon your own land. (The paramount value of landed independence; enduring extreme poverty on one’s own property is better than living comfortably in servitude.)
