ntroduction: Many things shine as bright as gold. Though our eyes get attracted towards
them, we do not value them only because of their appearance.

Meaning
The saying ‘all that glitters is not gold’ means that ‘outward appearances are often
delusive, and an attractive outer appearance of a person or thing doesn’t always indicate its
real nature.’

It highlights the fact that ‘gold is valued as a precious metal, not for its color, but for its
intrinsic worth’. Similarly, we should judge a person, not by outward appearance, but for
their inner qualities. It further means that:

 not everything that glitters or shines as bright as gold is as precious or valuable as

gold,
 not everything that superficially appears to be very valuable is as valuable as they
appear to be,
 things that appear to be of great value often turn out to be works of imitation,
 glamorous or fascinating people are not necessarily as reliable and trustworthy, and
 real characters of apparently bright personalities often turn out to be terrible and
frightening.
So, while something may glitter (look beautiful or seem appealing), it may not necessarily be
gold (authentically good or valuable).

This proverb can be taken in two senses viz. metaphorical and literal.

Metaphorically, it suggests that:

 We should be cautious before giving our approval.

 Not all appealing ideas are valuable.
 Not all initially-appealing people are good.

Literally it means that not all beautiful objects are valuable.

Meaning: The phrase “time and tide wait for none” means “no matter how powerful a person
is, he cannot stop the passage of time.”

It highlights the fact that human beings has no control over the laws of nature and the passing
of time. Human-beings should:

 make the best use of his time,

 perform duties withing the allotted time,
 never procrastinate or delay in doing things on time,
 act quickly and decisively before the lapse of the opportunity.

Explanation: The value of time is inestimable. Life is, but a collection of moments, which
we must not waste. We shorten our life whenever we kill time. Time and tide wait for none.

A person of sound health may delay the things for tomorrow. However, if for any reason he is
not able to do his task the next day, then the work may suffer badly.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” – Essay

The above is an English proverb expressing warning. The meaning of this proverb is that a
bird in your hand is certainly yours, but when you see two more birds in a bush and get
tempted to get hold of them. You open both your hands and try to catch the other two birds
and ultimately find both the birds flew and the one you caught earlier also flew when you
lose your grip.

The proverb means that it is better to focus on things you already have, rather than rushing
after things you don’t have and ultimately losing the thing you have. It teaches us not to rush
for success. Take simple and easy steps else we end up losing more than what we wanted to
gain. One should be careful in every areas of life.

It is advised to appreciate the things you have, do not take it for granted else you may end
being a loser. It’s better to have a lesser but certain advantage than the possibility of a greater
one that may lead to nothing.

Meaning of Brevity is the Soul of Wit

This phrase has multiplicity of meanings. In one sense, it means that a good piece of writing,
or a good speech, should be brief and concise. However, in another sense, it implies that
funny speech should be short; otherwise, it tends to lose its flavor. On the other hand, if
explored on a word-by-word level, its meanings are quite interesting. The use of the word
“wit” also is debatable, which here refers to knowledge, wisdom, intelligence and humor, as
it was used for wisdom and intelligence during the Shakespearean era. Hence, this phrase has
won proverbial approval, which means that knowledge and intelligence need be expressed in
as few words as possible

What is the meaning of to err is human, to forgive divine?

No human is perfect and so everyone makes mistakes. The fact that we are human means we will all
make mistakes.

Because humans inevitably make mistakes, from time to time we will all work with people who
disappoint us. Sometimes these people will be close to us and other times they will be people we
dislike.

Forgiving others is not easy, especially when we feel we've been wronged unfairly. So forgiveness
can sometimes feel like it goes against our human nature. As humans, we like to hold-on to our
feeling of self-righteousness -> A feeling of "I know I'm right and you are wrong, so I feel like I am
better than you."

So when we forgive, we are acting from a place that is "higher" than our human urge to hold a
grudge. In forgiving, we go beyond our animal instincts of wanting to be angry. We act from a place
of greater wisdom, some may describe this as "divine."

So to err is human because we all do it. To forgive is divine because it requires that we go beyond
our "lower mind" and act from a place of greater wisdom and compassion.
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is the Hand that Rules the World’ –
Origin, Meaning, and Expansion

Origin: The phrase, “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle is the Hand that Rules the
World” appeared in a poem written by William Ross Wallace. In fact, this brilliant phrase
has placed Wallace among the most celebrated poets of all time.

The above phrase is also commonly used in shortened form as “The hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world”.

Meaning: In this poem, the author says that the hands of a mother that moves the cradle are
the hands that rule the world.

This proverb does not need to mean that a mother literally rules the world. It may just mean a
mother has power in the household or community. The proverb celebrates motherhood and
highlights the influence of a mother on the child. As a mother, women are the most defining
factor that can bring a change to the society.

A mother exercises great influence in shaping the future of her child. Since, the future of the
world is in the hands of kids of today. Thus, the future of the world is in the hands of mothers
who nurture and prepare today’s kids for tomorrow.

Expansion: A mother gives all her love to her baby. She who moves the cradles of the baby,
is the one who rules the world. Her child chooses the virtuous path only because of her good
teaching. A mother is the teacher, mentor, guide, friend, companion of her child. She looks
after him and takes care of his needs. She teaches him about good and bad. She advises him
what to do and what to avoid.

A mother molds his child’s conduct, behavior, and habits. The teachings of a mother shapes
the character of the child. The influence of mother’s teaching during his childhood remains
with a person even when he grows up to adulthood.

‘Make hay while the sun shines’ – Meaning, Explanation, and
Teachings

Its meaning: The phrase, “make hay while the sun shines” is an old English proverb. It
means, “If we get an opportunity, we must act fast enough to seize the opportunity before the
lapse or expiration of the opportunity.”

The proverbs means that:

 Early action is essential for making the best use of opportunities.

 Missed opportunities are lost forever.
 People may not get another chance to complete the work left undone.

We should act in time to get the best out of available opportunities. We should take
full advantages of the favorable environment or opportunity. If we delay in action, then
chances are that we may miss those opportunities.

Brief explanation: Hay should be made while the sun shines bright. It is much easier for the
farmer to make hay during sunny days that when it rains. The hay cannot be dried during
night, or when the sky is clouded, or during rainy days.

Seasons are ever changing. The climate does not remain same all the year round. If the
farmed neglect to make during sunny days, then he may not find suitable time for making hay
in the future.

Thus, a farmer should take full advantage of the sunny days when the sun is bright. He cannot
wait for the cloudy or rainy days for making hays. He has to act fast enough in making his
hay when the weather is favorable.

Human life is comparable to weather. Life like the weather is uncertain. Therefore, we should
not fall into the habit of procrastination and delay the things for tomorrow. Instead, we should
be ever-ready to “strike while the iron is hot”. Great opportunities rarely repeat themselves.
We may achieve great success and build great fortune if we sincerely try to make the most of
a favorable situation.

As you sow, so shall you reap- PROVERB

As you sow, so shall you reap;

This is very powerful proverb;

Origin’s of it’s found in the religious book-Bible, Galations VI (King Jamesw Version);
whatsover a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

But, this powerful proverb also found in Hindu religion with some different meaning under
the name of LAW OF KARMA;

“Law of the Karma stipulates; if a person is spreading happiness through charity, good
work, being kind and sympathetic toward others it means he/she is sowing the seeds of
happiness that will produce the fruits of happiness in present of future”.

The simple meaning of the proverb; As you sow, so shall you reap;

Our life is nothing else but it is just like an agriculture soil; if we want good crop from this
soil than we must sow the good seeds in it; because quality and quantity of the crop is
completely depends upon the quality and quantity of seeds we have sown.

 The consequences are always depends upon the action.

 Our present always makes or helps to make our future.
 We are only person in this world; responsible for the effects of our actions.

But many a times it happens;

If we do good towards others, even if it doesn’t yield proper result immediately; it does
not mean it has gone in vain; we can certainly expect goodness out of it in the future.

If Winter Comes Can Spring be far behind? – Essay

If Winter Comes Can Spring be far behind? – Essay (free to read). This is the last line of
Shelley’s famous poem: “Ode to the West Wind.” The poet depicts the terrible effect of the
west wind in different spheres.

The line is an epitome of optimism. Though for the present the cold winter be the ruler all
around, yet the very approach of winter means the impending arrival of the spring season
soon after winter. Winter must at last come to an end. It must be followed by the colorful
spring which brings colorful flowers and bird’s sweet songs. After all, the circle of seasons
must continue moving unhindered.

Day is followed by night and night by day. Similarly, in life every period of sorrow and
despair has at last to come to end. It is followed by a period of peace, comfort and joy. We
must have a firm belief in the goodness of things and have a strong self-confidence. There is
no occasion for feeling dismayed. “If hopes are dupes, fears may be liars.”

ADVERTISEMENTS:
The best attitude in life is that of an optimistic stoic. Joys and sorrows should be treated in
their own stride. They should be given equal treatment. Robert Browning w- s a highly
optimistic poet. He had another way of looking at things. If he ever had to face failure in life,
he consoled himself by telling himself that he will get his reward or success in heaven or in
the next life. One famous psychologist of France taught the men the art of auto-suggestion.
He advised them to say unto themselves: “Every day in every way. I get better and better.”
Auto Suggestion for a better and happier life is the great art in modern day life which modern
psychology has given to us. WEB. Yeats, the famous poet of early twentieth century says,

“Cast a cold eye on life, on death, Horseman passes by!”

Thus, we must rest assured that our sorrows, if any, are short-lived and a period of joy awaits
us. Such thinking will always maintain our equipoise and peace of mind.
