Japanese Proverbs

A bad wife is a poor harvest for sixty years

A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step

Beginning is easy to keep going is hard

Control your emotion or it will control you

Depend on your walking stick, not on other people

Even a thief takes ten years to learn his trade

Food is delicious when one is hungry

If you are looking for bad luck, you will soon find it.

Instead of worrying, a strong man wears a smile

Into the house where joy lives, happiness will gladly come

It is one life, whether we spend it in laughing or in weeping

Karma and shadows follow one everywhere

Life is a long journey with a heavy bag on its back

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulty

No road is too long in the company of a friend

Respect old people, and be gentle with children

The day you decide to do it is your lucky day

To wait for luck is the same as waiting for death
