Can we say for a lesson a very short phrase that can be considered as analog to an aphorism in journalism "man bites dog..." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_bites_dog_%28journalism%29], starting first with our background of education ?
Lessons (“lições” in Portuguese) are what we have (i.e., we develop, we give, and we share) with joy each day of our lives if we have enough humility and we are mentally alive. "Man bites dog..." is what attracts the attention, perhaps not necessarily the learning that intelligent beings are able to acquire continuously with everybody, or at least try.

Margaret, thank-you. Socrates is a milestone of wisdom. However, my target is to find, if possible, a short and practical sentence as an analog sentence used frequently by the Journalists' teachers, only : "man bites dog..."[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_bites_dog_%28journalism%29],
Ah, I misunderstood 'analog sentence'. Sometimes English has double meanings, particularly when used in a specialist sense - and I don't know this spelling, 'analog'. I presume that it's American English.
