Proverb: Shadow of a man is better than a shadow of a wall.

This saying is an absolute old patriarchal saying. The saying is not at all about how necessary men are, but about how necessary it is to have them around – as a precaution.

Proverb: The one who taught him the world, is better than the one whose mother weighs him.

This saying means that the life is the best tutor.

Proverb: Protect the flame of your candle and it will light more!

This is said whenever someone is overly prideful about something. It means don’t brag about your blessings otherwise you’ll lose them.
