اللى تستهتر بيه يغلبك Elli testahtar beeh yeghlebak Translation: He who you underestimate will beat you. Meaning: Don't be overly confident. Those who look as if they are your inferior in certain abilities can still beat you, so don't underestimate anyone. This proverb is dated, but it is clear and most people should understand it. Use it to advise friends and family to take their opponents seriously.
