A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step A coward dies a thousand times before his death. The valiant never taste of death but

once. A drop of knowledge is greater than an ocean of strength A good beginning makes (for) a good ending. A half truth is a whole lie. A man's home is his castle. A penny saved is a penny earned. A rolling stone gathers no moss. A woman is like a cup of tea; you'll never know how strong she is until she boils All cats love fish but hate to get their paws wet. Before criticizing a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all

doubt. Better late than never. Better safe than sorry. Beware of Greeks bearing gif Desperate times call for desperate measures. Different strokes for different folks.

Education is a progressive discovering of our own ignorance. <W. Durrant> Education makes machines which act like men and produces men who act like machines Everything can be justified until it happens to you. Everything with time Everything in its own time. Everything changes; everything stays the same. Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference! Fifty percent of something is better than one hundred percent of nothing. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Alexander Pope, "An Essay on Criticism" From those to whom much is given, much is expected.

Biblical quote Luke 12:48 Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a

Many possible interpretations- Things change over time- If you are good at one aspect of a skill, you should be skilled at the other aspects, such as a painter who says he can't draw, yet both painting and drawing are aspects of art.- No matter of the outside, we are all the same inside.
