What Aesop's Fables Teaches Us


No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Appearances often are deceiving.

Avoid solutions that are worse than the problem.

Yield to all and you will soon have nothing to yield.

It is great art to do the right thing at the right time.

Do boldly what you do at all.

Example is more powerful than reproach.

He who wishes evil for his neighbor brings a curse upon himself.

Do not attempt too much at once.Slow and steady wins the race.

He who is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another.

The worth of money is not in its possession, but in its use.

Those who seek to please everybody, please no one.

The memory of a good deed lives on.

Happy is the man who learns from the misfortunes of others.


Aesop (620 BC-560 BC)
