İmam osurursa, cemaat sıçar.

Literal: If the imam farts, the whole community will shit.

Meaning: The leader serves as an example to his followers. They also carry a great responsibility to act in a proper way because their actions might have large consequences. Hence, in this proverb farting should be understoid in a dialectical relationship to defecating.
