Memory work

Art is long, life is short – вік живи – вік учись

As is the workman so is the work – по роботі пізнати майстра

It is never too late to learn – вчитися ніколи не пізно

Where there is a will there is a way – де є хотіння там є і вміння

Live and learn – живи і вчися

Business before pleasure – зробив діло – гуляй сміло
