I don't think this is a proverb.
Should "sensei" be capitalized? |

I'm not sure what "decree" you are
referring to. The original translation
wasn't a proverb, and it's not a literal
translation of the actual Japanese wording
either but a literal translation of the
meaning/explanation given in daijr. |

Should/could the earlier gloss be included as a "lit". Might help. |

If this is a proverb, I think it should.be
glossed something like this. |

It's best not to put in entries for proverbs, etc. UNTIL you have a solid translation supported by references. I feel like rejecting "could be improved" proposals - they're buck-passing. |
