Here's one example, from the famous House F: IM 58434.
"A herdsman in his weariness cannot recognize his own mother."
"While you have light, grind the flour."
"One cannot drag out the weak; one cannot hold back the strong."

"With my mouth, I cool hot soup for you;
from a fish, I pick out bones for you."
