Egyptian Proverbs

He that doesn’t listen to advice will suffer a lot
Illi ma yisma yakul lamma yishba
إللي ما يسمع ياكل اما يشبع

He that loves himself will be hated by his community
Man habbi nafsu karahitu gama’tu
من حب نفسه كرهته جماعته

Necessities permit the forbidden
Necessity knows no law
Iddarurat tubiH ilmaHZurat
الضرورات تبي المحظورات

Lebanese Proverbs

Don't show your ass to the bees and say "it's destiny"

Ma tkashef teezak lal dababeer, w t2ool haydeh el ta2adeer

ما تكشف تيزك للدبابر , و تةول هيدي التآدير

(A funny way of saying to not tempt fate!)

If you conduct yourself properly, fear no one

Itha hasnat sirak, latHaf gheerak

إذا حسنت سيرك, لا تحاف غيرك

Do you believe now, doubting Thomas?

Issanat ya Tuma?

أمّنت يا توما؟

Love truth even if it hurts you, hate lies even if it serves you
Habb al sadq w law Dharrak w abaghadh al ktheb w law sarrak

حبّ الصدق ولو ضرّك وابغض الكذب ولو سرّك

Silence is the brother of agreement

Al sakut akhu al rada

السكوت أخو الرادة
