Some Assamese Proverbs

Excerpt from Some Assamese Proverbs

He who lays thorns in the way of others, falls amongst them himself.

There are many rosaries, the beads of which are not counted in devotion.

He wishes, by all means, to take the lead having a turban on his head, although -the lower part of his body is naked.

If you meet him in the way, you see the folds of his large dhoti. If you go to his house, you see the walls are worn out.
