Learning is a lifelong effort. "Consider a language ... language serves to describe a combination of colored squares on a surface. The squares form a complex like a chessboard. There are red, green, white and black squares. The words of the language are 'red', 'green', 'white', 'black', and a sentence is a series of these words. They describe an arrangement of squares in an order." -- Ludwig Wittgenstein, philosopher (20th century)

Proverb Part five

Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Don’t refuse something good that is being offered. You should not question the value of a gift. You should be thankful when you receive a gift, and not wish for something better.

Birds of a feather flock together.

People are attracted to others who are like themselves. People who are a lot alike tend to gather together and become friends. However, don't forget people are alike in both good ways and bad ways.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

When too many people work together on a project, the result is often inferior or not done well.

You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

You cannot use some item and at the same time try to save the same item. Or you want one thing very much, but you are not willing to give up other things in order to have it.

A barking dog never bites.

Many people talk without any action. Some people have grandiose ideas but never get around doing anything. This is especially true for politicians of our time.
