The horse is a symbol of 'Izz' (glory) and 'Sharaf' (honor). Calling someone a 'Jawad' is a high compliment, even when they fail. Egyptians often use this proverb in professional settings, especially in the media, to defend public figures they like. In the Levant, there is a strong emphasis on education. This proverb is frequently used by parents to encourage children who are usually top of their class but had one bad grade. The proverb is used in its classical form in formal writing, but in daily speech, people might mix it with local Darija expressions about fate and luck.
