You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
You can show people the way to do things, but you can’t force them to act. Or you can give someone the opportunity to learn or to do something, but you can never force him to accept that opportunity.
All that glitters is not gold.
Things that appear on the surface to be of great value may be quite worthless. Or something which seems valuable at first may turn out to be worthless.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A little preventive maintenance can eliminate the need for major repairs later. You use this proverb to say that it is better to spend a little time to deal with problems or act right now than wait. If you wait until late, things will get worse, and it will take much longer to deal with them.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Foolish people do not know how to hold on to their money. Moreover, people who aren't careful with their money spend it quickly. That to say, a wise man has money because he's careful.
A watched pot never boils.
Something we wait for with impatient attention seems to take forever. Or you wait anxiously for something to happen, it seems to take a very long time.
