Answer:

Slow and steady wins the race.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Penny wise, pound foolish.

Explanation:

I interviewed my grand father who is almost 65 years of age. He uses many phrases and saying whenever he is teaching us something. We learn alot from his experiences. My grandfather always says that slow and steady wins the race which means that going panic can make you loose the game.

He often says that one man trash is another man treasure and this is true as I have seen example from my own eyes. One can throw away the food in the garbage but beggars find food in the garbage and eat it to stay alive.

Penny wise pound foolish is the most used phrase by my grand father. He says that you can save pennies in the box but cannot save pound in the box. You look for the things that save few pennies but you spend pounds on other luxuries without thinking about its necessity.

Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.
There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines.
