THE PEARL - ORIENTAL PROVERB

Pearls do not lie on the seashore,
If you desire one you must dive for it.

(Oriental proverb)


Another proverb I remember from long ago went something like this:

Errors like straws along the surface flow
He who would dive for pearls must dive below.


Do children still learn proverbs?  A stitch in time saves nine etc. Let me know your favourites.
