Moral from the Gulf war in Kuwait :
Oil's well that doesn't end well.

In a forest, as autumn was approaching, the herds went away in search of greener pastures. The lions also followed them. These facts of nature tell us that :
Pride goes after a fall.
pride  =>  group of lions
fall  =>  autumn

The grass always appears greener on the other side.
Actually, there is a scientific funda behind this philosophical statement. Consider the grass shoots to be very thin lines of height h and an average distance of d from each other. The ground is brown, while the grass is green. Now, when looked on vertically from top, we see only the brown ground with small green points as grass. Now, as we move away from the grass patch, consider our angle of vision makes a small angle of t with the downward vertical. Our eyes are at a height of H from the ground and a distance of D from the patch where
D/H = tan( t ).
Now, we see a length of l covered by the green grass, and a length of
( d - l ) covered by the brown ground where
l = H*tan( t ).
Thus the brown ground appears greener by a factor of ( l / d ). We can see that as we move farther from the patch, D increases, and so t increases, and so l increases, and so, ( d - l) decreases, making the patch appear greener. And at an angle of t0and above, where
tan( t0 ) = d / h,
we see only the green grass and no ground.
The grass thus does appear greener as we move away from it ! !
