Some of the “sayings” proverbs don’t translate the same unless they are placed on context or find is equivalent. On “Courtesy does not exclude Courage” I believe it’s better to translate it as: To be polite does not diminish character. Meaning that no matter who you are or what status you hold, you should always pay respects to everyone. Specially if they are considered inferior to you.

"Marido y mortaja del cielo baja". Heaven sends you the husband and the shroud or If you're destined to be married, you will, as certainly as you will die some day. "A single sparrow doesn't mean summer is here". "If you were born to be a flower pot, you'll stay in a corner of the porch". My favorite needs context. Tamales in Costa Rica are wrapped in banana leaves. So there is a saying that goes "If you were born to be a tamale, the leaves will drop from the sky", meaning if you are destined for success, you'll find the opportunity and the help you need without much effort.

[@tammy6452]

Revenge is a waste of time and energy, better to look for why you got hurt and deal with it. Often something that was a mistake or misunderstanding. Friendships are hard to find, the older I grow the more I understand this, finding people that are worth trusting. Being capable of orchestrating revenge doesn't mean that is what he way to deal with people, and that is what revenge deals with. People often doing the best with what they've got at the moment. Practices of revenge come at the cost of resources and waste even more resources when retaliation is started, so the battle begins. But for what? I've been through a hard life but one that has had in measures equal blessings. I choose to live and practice peace instead of being reactive in anger.

I doubt that all of these proverbs are of Spanish provenience. P.S.: 5:02. - "A rule isn't unfair if it applies to everyone." - That depends. A 100 $ fine for speeding is of less pain and educational value to a millionaire than to a poor man. That's why in Finland the amount of a fine to pay is a percentage of a person's income. I would apply another saying: There is nothing more unjust than treating the unequal equally.

[@jenster29]
