Favourite Proverbs.

I like Many a Mickle makes a Muckle. What a fab way of saying lots of little things make a big thing. Loved that for years

A bird in the hand might s* on your wrist.
( that’s one of my Dad’s)

Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes

"Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas"

"Misery loves company"

"Don't judge a book by it's cover"

“See a pin,
Pick it up,
And all day long, you’ll have -
A pin!”

Let those without sin,cast the first stone.
People in glass houses shoudn`t throw stones.

"I thought I was poor because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet". It's so easy to take for granted what we have.

‘He who knows, and knows he knows,
He is a wise man: heed him.
He who knows, and knows not he knows,
He is asleep: wake him.
He who knows not, and knows he knows not,
He is a child: teach him.
He who knows not, and knows not he knows not,
He is a fool: shun him.’

Take what you want and pay for it, says God.
(Spanish proverb, I believe.)

My late mum used to say “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”.
Whereas my dad’s favourite was “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. Like one of your responders, I was brought up on proverbs.

This too will pass

Nice one rufus !

If at first you don't succeed

Un-exploded bomb defusing is not for you!

"Live and let live!"

No good deed goes unpunished

'Don't pull tomorrow's clouds over today's sunshine'

"It at first you don't succeed, try, try again, then quit. No use being a damn fool about it." W C Fields

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

"When you're going through hell, keep going"

Fool me once, shame on you;
fool me twice, shame on me.

Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
If the Lord don't getcha
Then the Devil must.

‘Least said, soonest mended’....I have to remind myself of this occasionally!!!
