Ny halavoana tsy mahalehibe. Being tall does not prevent you from falling.

Nyvola toy ny vahiny:tonga anio, lasa rahampitso. Money is like a visitor : it comes today, and tomorrow it is gone.

Ny ahiahy tsy ihavanana. Distrust gets in the way of friendship.

Lava andro anaovana,ka fisa-drariny. A long trial with a meagre result; good trial, bad business.

Mitolona am-bovo-tany,kasamy lena. When two fight in water, both are wet.
