“ പഠിച്ച ഭോഷൻ വിടുപോഷ�”
English Translation:
An educated fool is the biggest fool of all. (A fool armed with book knowledge but devoid of common sense is far more dangerous and absurd than an ordinary illiterate fool.)

“ വിഷം തീണ്ടിയവൻ ചത്തപ്പോൾ വിഷഹാരി എത്തി”
English Translation:
The venom-healer arrived just as the snake-bitten victim drew his last breath. (Belated assistance; help arriving only after the catastrophe has run its course and the victim is beyond saving.)

“ ഞണ്ടു, മണ്ഡലി, കായൽ, വാഴ, കുടപ്പന, പെറ്റാൽ ശേഷിക്കയില്ല”
English Translation:
The crab, the viper, the reed, the plantain tree, and the talipot palm: none survives the act of bearing fruit or offspring. (Certain creations and enterprises exhaust and destroy their source in the very process of coming to fruition.)
