Knowledge is power; Charity begins at home; A rolling stone gathers no moss

Proverbs are short and pithy sayings, that express some traditionally held truths.They are usually metaphorical and often, for the sake of memorability, alliterative.

'Knowledge is power' means one can progress further in life if one is educated, or holds a lot of information.Knowledge make it possible for you to act.

'Charity begins at home' means that a person's first obligation should be to help the member of his own family before he can begin thinking of talking helping about others.A person's first duty is to help and care for his own family.

'A rolling stone gathers no moss' is a commonly used proverb.A 'rolling stone' refers to a wanderer, unable to settle to any job or lifestyle and therefor characterized as unreliable and unproductive.A person who never settles in one place or who often changes his job will not succeed in life and one who is always changing his mind will never get anything done.If a person keeps moving from place to place, thy gain neither friends nor possessions.
