some proverbs

A little learning is a dangerous thing

It may be safer not to learn something at all than to half-learn it.
 

All things are difficult before they are easy

The implication is that we should be patient with learning, and with learners. It takes time to learn to do things. What seems easy to us now may have been difficult at first.
 
 

Bad news travels fast

"Bad news" means news about "bad" things like accidents, death, illness etc. People tend to tell this type of news quickly. But "good news" (passing an exam, winning some money, getting a job etc) travels more slowly.
 
 

Charity begins at home

Our first responsibility is to our own family and friends.
 

Crime doesn't pay American English

If you engage in illegal activities, you will not make money in the long run.
 

Don't bite the hand that feeds you

It is not be a good idea to hurt the person (or company) that pays you or takes care of you.
 
 

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise

It is good for us to sleep early in the evening and wake early in the morning.

Easy come, easy go

If we get something (like money) easily and without effort, we can lose it easily too.
 
 
 

Great minds think alike

This saying suggests that very intelligent people think like each other. It is often said as a joke when two people think of the same thing.
