A stitch in time...

 All of these sayings or proverbs contain "measures of truth”... Refined and boiled down over time. Yes, you must know how to apply it. It is” a key” that when applied [and with time] grants success. Born of much trial and error. The greatest misconception is that they don’t apply to you. They are a gift from generations past...They sought to make your life easer..."They thought” you might find that useful...How is it archaic if it still works...Still applies to daily living? Is it that we live on different planets? What evil causes us to look the other way all the time?...How many times must we reinvent the wheel?
