- Bugünün işini yarına bırakma.

The direct translation for this proverb is "Don't delay the work of today to tomorrow." I think the interpretation is pretty straightforward.

- Bakarsan bağ, bakmazsan dağ olur.

This one is a little more implicit, but the actual meaning is "If you take care of sth, it will become beautiful and productive, it will turn into something you can make use of. If you don't take care of it, however, it will become useless and unproductive, like something that makes life more difficult for you."
