Proverbs:

A cap can't be more famous than a crown
The head leads the body
Only one king reigns over the people
One king dies and another king is put in their place
I have everything and lack everything
It is a mistake not to learn from mistakes
When we have the head over our shoulders, our thoughts are above the horizon and our feet are in salt water, there is no doubt we are facing the sea
No instrument is so loud that it can drown out the sound of the agogó bell
