Proverb of the week III
Although there are plenty of great proverbs in the canonical text, this week I've picked one from the rabbinical writings:
If a man calls you an ass,
the best way is to take no notice of it;
but if you are called so by two or more persons,
take the bit into your own mouth.
- from Genesis Rabba (a 5th/6thC Jewish Midrash upon Genesis)

I heard a great Indian proverb:
“Call on God, but row away from the rocks”

Yes, that one is similar to Oliver Cromwell's advice to his soldiers to "Trust in God, and keep your powder dry".
