Sanskrit and Hindi proverbs

यथा चितं तथा वाचो यथा वाचस्तथा क्रिया:


Yatha chitam tatha vacho yatha vachasttha kriya:


As you think, so you should speak, and as you speak, so you should do.


Interpretation: This proverb is about integrity of thought, speech, and action.


Hindi:
अकेला चना भाड़ नहीं फोड़ सकता
Akela chana bhaad nahi phod sakta


English:  A lone gram can't bust the oven.


Bhaad is a large oven/kiln. This proverb means that a single person cannot accomplish a large task alone.


Usage: तुम क्या नदी पर पुल अकेले बनाओगे? अकेला चना भाड़ नहीं फोड़ सकता!
Will you build a bridge across the river all by yourself? A lone gram can't bust the oven.
