I've been putting together another book for my book mod about the sayings of Tamriel. I've come up with a few here:

Altmeri sayings:

Magicka is like water: Without a proper vessel it cannot be contained.

Only jump as far as you can slowfall.

Only a fool levitates as high as the duration of his spells.

Only a fool blames a bad star for his folly.

Dunmeri sayings:

One cannot see what is in the distance when standing in the midst of an ash storm.

You cannot push a guar's head down unless it is drinking water by it's own will.

Bosmeri sayings:

If you want to know good character, look to the trees.

Those which don't scream when they die are more suited to life.

We had great fun coming up with TES based jokes in a thread a few months ago, so I thought I'd like to hear what sayings others can come up with. If I like them, I may even include them in the book. I'll add more as I think of them as well.

Imperials: Have you completed the proper paperwork in triplicate?

Orc: you'll see a lot of stupidity in your life if you keep looking in the mirror.

Yeah... I'm gonna need you to go ahead and start putting those cover sheets on your TPS reports.
See... We're putting those new cover sheets on all the TPS reports from now on before they ship out.
Yeah.. It would be great if you could go ahead and remember to do that from now on.

By the Nine Divine.
Come on no one got that yet?

Fixed
:)

Those moth priests really have their work cut out for them, especially for being blind.

For the Imperials, just start adapting Ferengi Rules of Acquisition:

"War is good for business; peace is good for business."

"Once you have their money, never give it back."

"Once in a while, declare peace; it confuses your enemies."

And plenty of others.

O Ebonarm, save us from the Northmen - Traditional Breton Prayerbook.

If you meet the Lover on the walk, kill her.
Yokudan saying, translated

You dig your grave in the moons!
Cult of the Mythic Dawn; a rebuke for a wayward disciple, roughly meaning you follow the herd. Stop it.

I can spell.

Orcish sayings

A mirror does not reflect the soul.

Talking can solve many problems but a big axe is quicker.

Others talk, Orsimer act.

Khajiit-"a perfect society is always elsewhere"

Nord sayings:

An axe is only as good as the hands that wield it.

The best women are like war horses: hard ridden and battle hardened.

The scars make the man.


Argonian sayings:

You can't change your character by licking the Hist.

Adapting to the uninhabitable is the heart of safety.


Khajiit sayings:

The blowing sands of time wipe clean the footprints of the past.

"Where's that slave?"
-Traditional Dunmer proverb

I saw a mudcrab the other day...

Nord: There is nothing better in life then a mug of mead and a tavern wench!

"The best way to fight your foe is with logic." - A scribe or something

OH guys come on you forgot the classic one:

Dunmer insult:

"YOU N'WHA!!!!!"

Argonians: "Hiss"

Nord: "Got some mead on ya?"

Breton: "Magic wins everything!" -Famous last words.

Khajiit: "Meow"

Imperial: Stop! You've violated the law!

Nord - The best elf is a dead elf

Orc - *Really loud cough*, traditional greeting to the friend of the orc.

Traditional Almsivi greeting: "I'm watching you, scum"

Don't forget the partner to this insult.......YOU SWIT!!!


:D

I stole some from chinese sayings

-----

Bosmer:

A Arrow will always be connected to the hand that shot it.

A Quiver does not contain only one arrow.

Don't sit on hot stones naked; you might burn your testicles.

When the tree falls, the shadow will vanish.


Breton:

With a sword you can kill a foe, with magicka you can get another friend.


Altmer:

A wise person will turn big problems into little ones and little ones into none.

You cannot catch a soul by mere asking.

A soulgem is worthless without a soul, a mer is worthless without wisdom.


Redguard

A man who believe something cant be done, should not get in the way of the man who is doing it.


Nord:

Do not eat yellow snow.

Do not stand on a frozen lake and pee while turning in circles.


Argonain:

You dont kill an Argonian by cutting of his tail.

Look at the sun on the land and it will blind you; look at it under water and it will warm you.


Khajit:

A stupid rat will chew on a cats tail.


Imperial:

Do not take stones from the east wall to repair the west wall.


Orc:

talk is silver, an axe is gold


Dunmer:

if a guar dies, it leaves its skin; if a hero dies, he leaves his reputation.

Bosmer : Don't litter, the trees will kill you.

Breton : My Magic Missile is better then yours.

"Your foot is on my toe. Get it off." - Nord or an Orc

Altmer: I'm sorry, what was that? I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Breton: Help, help! I'm being repressed!
