i got this from a pretty bad book about China/Tibet so i dont know how much is lost in translation, but the E version is interesting enough:
If the valley is reached by a high pass, only the best friends, or worst enemies, are visitors.

These are some Turkish proverbs that i like (among the ones u shared with me Kelly). pardon the translation Beyza, 'coz wikiquote probably did a terrible job:
• Karga kekliği taklit edeyim derken, kendi yürüyüşünü unutmuş.
o Literal translation: As the crow tried to imitate the partridge, it forgot its own walking style.
• Isıracak köpek dişini göstermez.
o Literal translation: A dog that intends to bite does not bare its teeth.
• Anlayana sivrisinek saz, anlamayana davul zurna az.
o Literal translation: To one who understands, a mosquito is a lute, to one who does not understand, a drum and zurna are little.
And this is my fave:
• Görünen köy kılavuz istemez.
o Literal translation: The village that one can see requires no guide.
