You know what they say...
They say:
A fool and his money are soon parted.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
A stitch in time saves nine.
Birds of a feather flock together.
We grow too soon old and too late smart.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Retirement is too little money and too much husband.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
When you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail to you.
Stupid is as stupid does.
It's deja vu all over again.
It's always darkest just before the dawn.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
If you lived here, you'd be home now.
No matter where you go, there you are.
Better to remain silent and seem to be a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Don't judge a man till you've walked a mile in his moccasins.
Army: Never stand when you can sit. Never walk when you can ride. NEVER volunteer.
If you're getting deeper and deeper in a hole, stop digging.
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone.
Travel is broadening. Especially on cruise ships.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
Better to light a single candle than curse the darkness.
You're not fat, you're just underheight.
Ignorance can be remedied. Stupidity cannot.
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.
Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
If all about you are losing their heads, check to see if there's a guillotine involved.

Those are some of the things they're saying to me.
What are they saying to you?
;-)

1. You can lead a horse to water
but if you can get him to float on his back, then you've got something.

4. You can lead a horse to water...
but try it with a bear.

A rolling stone kills ants.

A bird in the hand makes it hard to blow your nose.

All courtesy of Mr. Tom Wiegel, the best damn biology teacher anyone has ever had.

2. I think I made this up ...
but that doesn't mean I actually did.

"If you can't laugh at yourself ... How can you expect anyone to take you seriously"

I'm not even sure what the hell it means.

Cheers
Drifter

5. Never try to teach a pig to sing
it just wastes your time and annoys the pig.

(I use that one whenever I see people arguing with others who have obviously closed their minds to new ideas or reason.)
