A nettle burns (stings) me. Dock will cure me.
Rain to the calf and sun to the foal; water to the goose and alms to the beggar(man).

Instinct is stronger than upbringing.
What pains the heart must be washed away with tears.
The three best friends and the three worst enemies:
fire, wind, and water.
