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

A still tongue makes a wise head.-Someone who does not talk much, but listens to other people, probably has experience, knowledge and good judgement.

A good name is better than riches.-Your good reputation is worth more than money.

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.

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