    111-----The pot calling the kettle black
  
  Since the pot and the kettle are equally black from the cooking fire, the pot has not right to criticize the kettle. This might be used if someone known to be a gossip criticizes someone else for gossiping.
  
  112-----Don't get mad, get even
  
  When someone treats you badly, do not just get angry, express your anger in action.
  
  113-----Get a life
  
  Do not be so unreasonably1 critical about tiny things. Find something better to do with your time.
  
  114-----My country, right or wrong
  
  I am absolutely loyal to my country whether or not I agree with its policy in a certain area.
  
  115------There are two sides to everything
  
  Never assume that all the blame for a conflict lies on one side, especially if you have heard only one side of the story.
  
  116-----Forgive and forget
  
  Conflicts should be resolved and ended, not left alone to cause years of regret, bitterness and pain.
  
  117------Business and pleasure don't mix
  
  When you work, work. When you play, play. It is inefficient2 and therefore unwise to try to mix the two.
  
  118-----Let a sleeping dog lie
  
  Do not meddle3 in something that will cause you no trouble if you leave it alone. If you wake up the "dog," it may bite you.
  
  119------No man can serve two masters
  
  Divided loyalty4 will break down sooner or later.
