Three proverbs from three different areas of the world:
** A rich child often sits in a poor mother's lap.
-- Danish Proverb
** Vision without action is a daydream.
Action without vision is a nightmare.
-- Japanese Proverb
** When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside
cannot hurt you.
-- African Proverb

...and a short joke from "Off the Church Walls":
The Front Row, Please
An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door. "Where would you like to sit?" he asked politely.
"The front row, please," she answered.
"You really don't want to do that," the usher said. "The pastor is really boring."
"Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired.
"No," he said.
"I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked.
"No," she said.
"Good," he answered.
