“ താൻ ഇരിക്കേണ്ടിടത്തു താൻ ഇരിക്കാഞ്ഞാൽ അവിടെ പിന്നെ നായിരിക്കും”
English Translation:
If you do not occupy the seat you ought to occupy, a stray dog will sit there instead. (If you abdicate your rightful post, duty, or authority, an unworthy opportunist will immediately usurp it.)

“ അഴകുള്ള ചക്കയിൽ ചുളയില്ല”
English Translation:
A jackfruit that looks stunning on the outside often has no sweet flesh within. (All that glitters is not gold; a dazzling exterior often hides total hollowness.)

“ നുണക്കാതെ ഇറക്കികൂടാ, ഇണങ്ങാതെ പിണങ്ങിക്കൂടാ”
English Translation:
You cannot swallow food without tasting and chewing it, nor should you quarrel with someone before having lived in harmony. (Thorough familiarity and shared experience must precede judgment; do not jump into enmity without true understanding.)
