Fighting between countries for a fair and good cause is better than no fighting in a situation that is unfair.-A very small hint is enough to convey our meaning. It is not always necessary to say what we want explicitly.

A watched pot never boils.-Anything that we wait for with eager attention seems to take a very long time.

A word to the wise is enough.-A very brief warning or explanation is enough for an intelligent person.

God helps them that help themselves.-This semi-humorous saying suggests that we should not rely entirely on God to help us. God will help us if we make an effort.

Even the prayers of an ant reach to Heaven.-God hears all living beings.
