Ok, so it's not a proverb, but it's a hell of a song. I thought it was fitting.

Met a man on the street last night

Said his name was Jesus

Met a man on the street last night

Thought he was crazy till I watched him heal a blind man

Watched him heal a blind man now I see

I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Then I will walk yes I will walk

With patience through that open door

I have no fear, angels follow me wherever I may go

I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Met a girl in a chair with wheels

But no one else would see her

Met a girl in a chair with wheels

Everyone was so afraid

To even look down on her

And she just spread her little wings and flew away yeah

I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Then I will walk yes I will walk

With patience through that open door

I have no fear, angels follow me wherever I may go

I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Met a kid on a bridge last night

Contemplating freedom

Met a kid on a bridge last night

And he said

I'm tired of this maddening life

And I'm ready to go meet Jesus

And I said he's a friend of mine

Met him just last night

And it's alright

Yeah it's all right

Yeah

I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Then I will walk yes I will walk

With patience through that open door

I have no fear, angels follow me wherever I may go

I'll live this life until this life won't let me live here anymore

Live here anymore

Met a man on the street last night

Said his name was Jesus

Met a man on the street last night
