“ ആണായാൽ നാണംവേണം; മുഖത്തഞ്ചുമീശവേണം”
English Translation:
A man must possess a sense of honor, and at least a modest mustache upon his face. (True manhood demands both moral integrity and the outward dignity of adulthood.)

“ വളപ്പിൽകൊത്തുന്നതും കഴുത്തിൽകെട്ടുന്നതും ഒരുപോലെയൊ”
English Translation:
Is hacking a stump in the garden identical to fastening a noose around your neck? (Distinguish between harmless everyday labor and lethal, self-inflicted ruin; do not confuse routine exertion with mortal danger.)

“ തെറിക്കുത്തരം മേത്തരം പത്തലു്”
English Translation:
The finest answer to foul abuse is a sturdy cudgel. (Insolent insults and vulgar provocations are best answered with firm discipline rather than engaging in undignified verbal slanging matches.)
