I have a few.
"Curiosity killed the cat" basically means that being curious can lead to trouble. I have since used that to name my own one.
"Persistence killed the cat", even unnecessary persistence can lead to trouble. Something I frequently tell my younger cousin as he tries to beat me at every, single, thing.
Famous quotes.
"I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion."
- Alexander the Great
"Stumbling seven times, but recovering eight."
Means: Perseverance is better than defeat.
- Japanese Proverb
"A fall into a ditch makes you wiser."
Means: You learn from mistakes
- Chinese Proverb
I have more, but my favorite is Alexanders one.
It can mean lots of things.
- An army of Lions would turn on their leader (sheep) and rebel, but an army of sheep wouldn't turn on a lion.
- Lions are strong. If a man is a fierce and deadly as a lion his killing intent can make even sheep deadly.
- A powerful leader can make even the weak, threatening.
- It shows value of leaders.
- Its not the quality of the soldiers, but the one who leads them.
- You should be afraid of the mind (lion leader), and not the body (sheep army)
- Being stupid can make even powerful lions pathetic.
And more.
