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

Feeding is a good philanthropy activity. But educating is much higher. The food will get digested soon. The education will remain the whole life.
