P R O V E R B S There is no place like home! For each man his native land – is paradise! Love to Motherland infused in family hearth! Person without Motherland is a nightingale without forest! Better be an ordinary man in ones land, than a sultan in a foreign land! To betray ones Motherland is to bury oneself alive! Өз үйім өлең төсегім! Әркімнің өз жері – жұмақ! Отанды сүю – от басынан басталады! Отансыз адам – ормансыз бұлбұл! Кісі елінде сұлтан болғанша, өз еліңде ұлтан бол! Отанға опасыздық еткенің, өз түбіңе өзің жеткенің!
