Old Sayings

In Ladyjanes post about organisation I mentioned old sayings.
SO....
What old wives tale...or old piece od wisdom do you all have.

Mountain ash

A stich in time saves nine. That's true for everything!

Love conquers all when we can forgive and forget because to err is human and to forgive divine.

Mountain ash

There's plenty a slip between the cup and the lip.

Murder will out!

Beauty is, as beauty does.

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Cream rises to the top.

Walk softly and carry a big stick.

You get back what you give out.

As you sow, so shall you reap...

It ain't over till the fat lady sings...

If it ain't soup, its nuts...

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen...

Into the mouth, over the gums, look out stomach here it comes...

I'm so hungry my stomach thinks my throats been cut...

Here's one from Sister Mary Martha:

"Of all the dumb surprises,
there's none that can compare,
with stepping in the darkness
on a step that isn't there."

When love and skill go together, expect a masterpiece.

One with the courage to laugh is master of the world.

When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.

Silence is the hardest argument to refute.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.

Destroy your enemy by making him your friend.

and my favorite...
Prayer is the most we can do for another human being

It is in giving that you receive.

There before the grace of God go I.

If you keep doing that, your face might freeze that way.

People who gossip WITH you, will gossip ABOUT you.

It's either chicken or feathers

Don't chew your cabbage twice

You're gonna get your name up

Lord willing and the creek don't rise

Ye gods and little fishes

The early bird gets the worm

Laughter is the best medicine

Pick your poison

Don't burn bridges and Don't go looking for trouble

Make every trip count (one of my mom's most used)

Pretty is as pretty does

What's in the heart comes from the mouth

Every cloud has a silver lining
