Explanation:

Proverbs or maxims are sayings that have a lesson in them. They have a meaningful lesson that applies to the events of one's life accordingly.

The proverbs "The chickens come home to roost" and "if you play with fire, you'll get burned" both have the same meaning. They basically mean that any wrong act that has been instigated or done by an individual will always find its way back to the originator. In simple words, we can say that when one does something wrong against another person, the consequences may not be seen all at once but it will surely strike him back someday. One's actions will always bring its consequences to the doer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
