If you beat spice it will smell the sweeter

A bride received into the home is like a horse that you have just bought; you break her in by constantly mounting her and continually beating her

Conquerors are kings; the beaten are bandits

Know thyself to know others, for heart beats like heart

Before you beat a dog, find out who its master is

Beat your gong and sell your candles

Beat your drum inside the house to spare the neighbors
