A just war is better than an unjust peace.-Fighting between countries for a fair and good cause is better than no fighting in a situation that is unfair.

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

As soon as man is born he begins to die.-The process of dying starts at birth. This saying reminds us of our own mortality, whatever our age.

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.

We are born creative. We are then educated out of it.-Sir Ken Robinson
