“ ദാനംകിട്ടിയ പശുവിന്റെവായിൽ പല്ലുണ്ടൊഎന്നു നോക്കരുതു”
English Translation:
Never pry open the mouth of a gifted cow to count its teeth. (Never look a gift horse in the mouth; accept generosity with gratitude rather than critically inspecting its imperfections.)

“ വറുത്താൽ കൊറിച്ചുപോകും; കണ്ടാൽ പറഞ്ഞുപോകും”
English Translation:
If roasted it will be munched; if seen it will be spoken of. (Irresistible human instincts: enticing delicacies naturally tempt the mouth, just as scandalous sights naturally provoke gossip.)

“ ആരാന്റെ പല്ലിനെക്കാൾ തന്റെ ഊനു(നൊണ്ണു) നല്ലത്”
English Translation:
One’s own toothless gums are better than someone else’s row of fine teeth. (Your own modest resources, however humble, are far more dependable than borrowing the advantages of others.)
