«اِلْبَغْلِ الْعَجُوزْ مَا يْخَافْشْ مِنِ الْجَنَاجِلْ»

Long experience can make threats and noisy displays lose their power. Someone who has endured many hardships may recognize intimidating talk as mere sound rather than a sign of real danger.

The saying advises against being easily shaken by bluster. It portrays seasoned people as calm because repeated encounters with pressure or commotion have taught them what truly causes harm; it does not imply indifference to every genuine danger.

Use this proverb when a well-tested person remains unmoved by threats, alarmist talk, or theatrical intimidation. It can praise composure born of experience while implying that the apparent menace is mostly noise, not that all warnings should be dismissed.
