Nepali proverbs reuse the same images — the same animals, tools and weather — to land different lessons. These use some of the same words.
Aaja ko kaam lai bholi nabhannu.
Don't procrastinate, complete today's tasks today
Aaja ghar pugiyela ta? aafnai khutta lai sodha
Don't rely on others, trust your own abilities and judgment
Budi maryo kaal palkyo.
