Man is not good by nature. Be careful what you wish for. May you live in interesting times. Busier than a one armed paper hanger. (He/She's) Like an itch you can't scratch. Can't see the forest for the trees. THAT dog can't hunt. (meaning an idea is a poor one...won't work) Like a horse with three legs, runnin for Congress.... You're cuttin off your nose to spite your face! Don't piss up hill in a storm. More nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers! Better make hay while the sun shines! Ya gotta eat a peck of dirt before you die. Close only counts with hand-grenades and horse shoes. There ain't NO FOOL...like an OLD FOOL. No hoof, no horse. (applying to looking after your horse's feet properly, or you'll have no horse to ride!) Well be that as it is in May!

My Great Grandma had a lot: "You're a monkey's uncle"( she'd say that when we were rhowdy. It came from the Scopes trial. She was a little girl when it was in the news.), "I love you said the little blue man in the moon."(that was bed time), and "For Pete's Sake" (She was a Mormon and wouldn't cuss.). And she always sang us "Yes, Jesus Loves Me". And now I need a tissue.

Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. The early bird catches the worm. Let bygones be bygones. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Don't ask permission, ask forgiveness.

Don't cry over spilt milk A stich in time saves nine To thine own self be true Out of sight, out of mind Actions speak louder than words The sword is mightier than the pen Advice is least heeded when most needed Never advise anyone to marry or go to war A man is as old as he's feeling; a woman as old as she looks. At the third cup, wine drinks the man. Beware the fury of a patient man. A soft answer turneth away wrath; but grievous words stir up anger. Would'st thou both eat thy cake and have it? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Curiosity killed the cat. A flattering mouth worketh ruin. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
