The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.-Aristotle

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

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

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.

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.
