Proverbs

A habit from age three lasts until eighty.

After three years at a village school, even its dog recites verse.

Beyond one mountain lies another.

With too many boatmen, the boat goes up a mountain.

The ground grows firmer after rain.

A rice cake pleasing to the eye is pleasing to eat.

Give the illness, then give the medicine.

The riper the rice, the lower it bows.

Even a sheet of paper is easier to lift together.

The navel is bigger than the belly.

Words without feet travel a thousand ri.

Pouring water into a bottomless jar.

Give an extra rice cake to the child you dislike.

No news is good news.

Words become seeds.

One well-chosen word can repay a thousand-nyang debt.

Drink the kimchi broth before anyone has offered rice cake.

Hold the rite while the rice cake is at hand.
