A watched pot never boils.-Anything that we wait for with eager attention seems to take a very long time.
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 fool and his money are soon parted.-Stupid people spend their money carelessly and soon become poor.
A word to the wise is enough.-A very brief warning or explanation is enough for an intelligent person.
A good name is better than riches.-Your good reputation is worth more than money.
