A picture is worth a

thousand words.

An image can tell a story better than words.

prevent a lot of work later.

As you sow so shall you reap.

If you do good, you will get good in return; if you do bad, you will get

bad in return.

The pen is mightier than

the sword.

You can achieve more through persuasion with words, especially the written

ones, than by violent actions.

Honey catches more

flies than vinegar.

It is easier to persuade others with polite talk and

a positive attitude rather than with rude demands

and negativity.
