the child is the father of the man

The seed for becoming good or bad is sown in child hood. Manhood is the development of childhood. If a child is bought up in a proper way he will become a responsible citizen later on. A bad element   in children will grow and revel in large measure in adulthood. When we study the lives of great people or writers poets, we can understand how their childhood had helped them to attain such a great level in life. So, William words worth says that the child is the father of the man. So it is always more important to concentrate on children on there young age to make him a great individual in all respect to the society.

A bird in the hands is worth two in the bush

Greed is the root of all evils. Edwin Muir says in his poem ‘castle’ that we have arms to protect a castle but no arms to root out there desire for gold. We should lead a happy and contented life we must learn to live with what we have. We must not use unfair means to earn more money and spoil our life. The most religion says god will take away what he has given. So we have no hold on anything in the world. Our life is temporary in this earth. We must learn to laugh away our worries. God has created this earth for joy. So every one must lead a contented life ,Live for the moment .

A rolling stone gathers no moss

It means if people do not stick to certain good principles and change their mind from time to time they cannot understand life and enjoy. A stone in water gathers moss but that which rolls in it gathers nothing. Likewise a man who jumps from one job to another several times cannot learn anything and leads a contented life. A scientist gets success because he is continuously and constantly at his work. He is able to find a solution to a problem. Hasty mind will never succeed. So thing before you act makes a good and better living.

Rome was not built in a day

It means that careful planning is necessary for every activity. Any work or job cannot be done in a day. A house construction needs a year for its completion. A student plans his study for his future career. It takes a long time to prepare to launch a rocket. Gandhi was able to win the confidence of the people only by his sheer constant effort and careful planning. Proper thinking for performance of work would help one to attain progress in life.  A small piece of stone will make a way for big one when planned and placed in order, just like life.
