Dərslik kimi təsdiq edilmişdir. Q. H. Bayramov 2008 Mənə tərcümənin əlifbasını öyrətmiş

Among his wise sayings were those which follow: 
Nothing goes well without mentioning the name of Allah. 
No one can prosper without the will of Almighty Allah. 
Nothing happens if it was not already written down in the 
beginning. 
No one dies before his appointed hour.

The dead cannot come back to life. 
The departed soul does not return. 
A young man may gather mountains of wealth. 
He can dispose of only as much as his appointed share. 
The sea cannot be filled though the roaring rivers all flow into 
it. 
Allah does not love the haughty or help him to prosper. 
An adopted son cannot be like a real one; when he grows up, 
he goes away and shows no gratitude. 
No hill can be made of ash. 
The son-in-law cannot be a substitute for a son. 
The black donkey does not become a mule by wearing a 
bridle. 
A slave woman does not become a lady by putting on 
expensive clothes. 
Snow will melt before summer, no matter how thick it is. 
Lush grass shall wither before fall. 
Old cotton is of no use for making good cloth. 
An old enemy cannot be a friend. 
Distances cannot be covered without spurring the horse. 
The opponent will not retire in defeat unless the steel sword is 
drawn. 
Fame cannot be gained without generosity. 
A girl cannot become a lady unless she has good breeding 
from her mother. 
A son cannot be generous unless he sees generosity in his own 
father. 
The son is the work of the father; he is apple of his eye. 
A worthy son is the fire of one’s hearth. 
What can the son do if his father dies without leaving him any 
wealth? 
What good is the wealth of the father if the son is unlucky! 
Oh, my khan, may Allah preserve you from those who bring 
bad luck.

Dede Korkut spoke on another occasion: 
A treacherous young man cannot mount a well-bred horse 
when it is running: it is better that he does not try. 
It is better that the mean and the base do not use the sharp 
sword. 
For the brave a stick is as good as a sword and an arrow. 
Dark homes unfrequented by visitors might better fall down. 
Grass that is no good for the horse might better never grow. Bitter 
waters that are no good for man might better not spring. 
The seed of an unworthy son that does not perpetuate his 
father's name had better not drop into his mother's womb; if it is 
dropped there, he might better not be born. 
The son should be a worthy one, carrying on the fame of the 
father. 
Those who lie should be thrust out of this world, but may men of 
truth live forever. 
Only the deer know where the grasslands are. 
Only the wild donkey knows where the green grass is. 
Only the camel knows where the different trails. 
Only the fox knows the scent of the seven streams. 
Only the lark knows when the caravan passes in the night. 
Only the mother knows who the father of her son is. 
Only the horse knows whether his rider is light or heavy. Only 
the mule knows how heavy its load is. 
Only the patient knows where the pain is. 
Only the brain feels the ache of the foolish head.
