Dhibiti kinywa chako kwa uangalifu ...[ILIKATA]... na ufanye moyo wako kuwa mzito(?), kwa maana neno linalosemwa ni kama ndege, naye alitamkaye ni kama mtu asiye na ...[ILIKATA]... ufundi wa maneno una nguvu zaidi kuliko ufundi wa ...[ILIKATA]...
- Hadithi ya Ahikar, Ukurasa wa 171/274
Kwa maana neno la Mungu ni hai, tena lina nguvu, tena lina ukali kuliko upanga uwao wote ukatao kuwili.

We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice
To our own lips. (Macbeth Act I, Scene 7)
As you sow, so shall you reap (Galatians 6:7)
善有善報,惡有惡報
Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil.
Wie man in den Wald hineinruft, so schallt es heraus
What you shout into the forest, will echo out again
Ukitaka uvunguni sharti uiname
If you want something underneath [the bed] you must bend down
Mulla [Nasreddin] had lost his ring in the living room. He searched for it for a while, but since he could not find it, he went out into the yard and began to look there. His wife, who saw what he was doing, asked: “Mulla, you lost your ring in the room, why are you looking for it in the yard?” Mulla stroked his beard and said: “The room is too dark and I can’t see very well. I came out to the courtyard to look for my ring because there is much more light out here.”
- Retold by Houman Farzad, Translated from Persian by Diane L. Wilcox (1989)
[A police officer encountered a man groping about on his hands and knees]
“I lost a $2 bill down on Atlantic avenue,” said the man. “What’s that?” asked the puzzled officer. “You lost a $2 bill on Atlantic avenue? Then why are you hunting around here in Copley square?” “Because,” said the man as he turned away and continued his hunt on his hands and knees, “the light’s better up here.”
