Proverbs are universal truths that provide advice. The proverb "God helps those who help themselves" means that through hard work and effort, anything is possible, and if you work hard to achieve your desires then God will help you as you are struggling toward them. Another proverb, "pride comes before a fall," means that one should not feel pride in their qualities or skills and demoralize others, as someone else may have better qualities and cause you to fall from your attempt. A final proverb discussed is "monkey makes the mare go," which tells us that with money, anything is possible.
