WISE SAYINGS AND PROVERBS

Stop finding faults in people ;no one is without flaws _even the pigeon hides its disgraceand goes to ridicule the  chicken .
     Don't reject advice from somebody better than you _'a single conversation across a table with a wise man is worth more than a month's study of books'.
     It's only a silly person who gets over excited with the simplest of things_ 'when a fool learns a new story, it keeps him sleepless'
        Reputations are very easy to destroy but most difficult to repair.
        The disgrace one incurres in one day can never disappear overnight.
        Nothing stops you for being better than you are now _It's only the toad that gets up from its knees and falls back again on its knees.
