Unity
"It is better to be one than to be right"
A group of united people will quickly realise they are wrong and correct themselves, a divisive person will quickly go astray.
Pain
Pain grows the longer you wait - so "take the pain early."
Don't wait until a problem is too big to solve, solve it before it really becomes a problem.
Pole
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Give a man a fishing pole and he'll use it to make an improvised TV aerial to watch the footie whilst he sends the missus out to fish.
