To go beyond is as bad as to fall short

A person with a bad name is already half-hanged

Good fortune may forebode bad luck, which may in turn disguise good fortune

You must have crossed the river before you may tell the crocodile he has bad breath

Going beyond is as bad as falling short

Flowing water never goes bad; our door hubs never gather termites

A bad workman blames his tools

A bad worker quarrels with his tools

A bad word whispered will echo a hundred miles
