A few days ago, I read some interesting and true proverbs.
Spanish proverbs:
Born in the garden the gardener what you sow
Nace en la huerta lo que no siembra el hortelano.
Nothing is more bold than ignorance
Nada hay más atrevido que la ignorancia.
Arab proverbs:
Have a good memory, if you are a liar
Ten buena memoria, si eres mentiroso
Nothing scratch your skin better your nail
Nada rasca tu piel mejor que tu uña.
Japanese proverbs:
Thieves will have time for rest, vigiland have time never
Los ladrones tendrán tiempo para descansar; los vigilantes jamás
Ensures that your words will be better than silence
Procura que tus palabras sean mejor que el silencio
Crazy saints dream that great works of the institution, the born fighters make it, the happy sane take it and the chronic useless critizice it.
"Las grandes obras de las instituciones las sueñan los santos locos, las realizan los luchadores natos, las aprovechan los felices cuerdos y las critican los inútiles crónicos".
I laughed a lot!! hahahahaha

Born in the garden the gardener what you sowWhat the gardener doesn't sow is born in the garden.
Nothing scratches your skin better than your nail
Thieves will have time for rest, vigilantes never do.
Ensure that your words will be better than silence
Crazy saints dream up (la frase "to dream up" quiere decir "imaginar") the great works of the institution, the born fighters make it, the happy sane take it, and the chronically useless criticize it.
The first one is 盗人の隙はあれども守り手の隙はない (literally the same).
The second one maybe 雄弁は銀、沈黙は金 (Speech is silver, Silence is golden), but some websites say it's from philosopher Thomas Carlyle. But I guess this proverb matches a Japanese way of thinking than other countries'.
Actually, I don't really understand the third one.
Born in the garden, but not sown by the gardener.
If you are a liar, have a good memory.
Thieves will have time for rest, the vigilant never have time.
Seek to make your words be better than silence.
The greatest works of art are dreamt by the few, created by the strong, enjoyed by the sane, and criticized by the useless.
No es una traducción exacto, pero creo que este captura la escencia.
