Hastem mukhi, sodam sukhi
A pleasant smile is cheerful all the while

Hanv boro zalear ganv boro, hanv chor zalear ganv chor
If I am good, the village is good. If I am a thief, the village gets a bad
name

Ghorkan'ni vinnem ghor nhoi
There is no home without the housewife

Don mest, burrafest
Too many cooks, soil the soup

Don hoddeancher paim dovorta to buddtta
One who stands on two boats is bound to sink.
