Excessive obstinacy.

This proverb implies that people who are active or visible are often the ones burdened with extra work or responsibilities. It is used to describe a situation where someone who is capable and proactive ends up being taken advantage of or given more tasks, while those who remain idle avoid such burdens.

This proverb is used to say that a person's inherent nature or capabilities do not change just because they gain wealth, power, or physical size. Just as a dog, no matter how strong or well-fed, cannot perform the labor of a donkey or an ox, some people are simply not suited for certain responsibilities regardless of their outward growth.

This proverb highlights the necessity of a social hierarchy and division of labor. It implies that if everyone wants to be the leader or hold a position of comfort and authority, no one will be left to do the actual work. It is used when everyone in a group expects to be served or wants a high-status role without contributing effort.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone's reputation or name is very grand and famous, but their actual physical presence or lifestyle remains humble and grounded. It can also imply that while someone's name is known far and wide, they are still doing the hard work themselves.

Fame is a magnifying glass. * Adó pensas que hay tocino, no hay estacas.

This proverb is used to describe things that are limited by physical capacity or practical constraints. It refers to a situation where one's efforts or gains are restricted to the maximum volume of the container or the strength of the bearer, implying that there is a definite cap on what can be achieved or obtained.

* Effen is kwaad passen.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where there are more advisors or supervisors than actual workers. It points out an imbalance where there is an abundance of secondary or unnecessary things compared to the primary essentials, similar to the English expression 'Too many chiefs and not enough Indians.'

This proverb is used to convey that worrying or grieving over something that is irrevocably lost is futile. It emphasizes the importance of accepting reality and moving forward, as some situations cannot be reversed regardless of how much emotional distress one expresses.

This expression refers to someone who works hard on something valuable or possesses great knowledge but does not understand its worth or benefit from it personally. Just as a donkey carries fragrant sandalwood but only feels the heavy weight and not the aroma, it describes a person with superficial involvement in something profound.
