Proverb explanation

[All-Nighter]

Please I need explanation of the following proverbs

• Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave
  
  
  Make hay while the sun shines
  
  
  
  Strike while the iron is hot
  
  

Act at the best possible time


If you wish to be obeyed don't ask the impossible

Birds of a feather flock together

Better have a wise enemy than a foolish friend



Beware the man who has received charity from you


To jump out of the frying pan into the fire


Acts speak louder than words

All is well that ends well


Faith may move mountains

Like father like son




Union is strength

• The shoemaker's wife is always the worst shod
  
  
  Choose your neighbor before you choose your house
  
  
  
  
• Necessity is the mother of invention
  
  
  
  
  Victory does not come by jealousy
