Old Sayings

[collegegirl]

Mom and I play this sometimes. We try to see who can remember the most old sayings. I come up with one, and then she has to say the next one, and then me, etc, but we aren't allowed to use one that has already been said. I'll start:

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

[blessed]

eat from pot and it will rain on your wedding day :D

[hiya]

I think you should also give the meaning becaues i don't have a clue
what "eat from pot and it will rain on your wedding day" means haha
and if it don't have one or you don't know thats fine =)

"The early bird gets the worm but the sencond mouse gets the cheese"

The second mouse. Hahaha. The first mouse sprang the trap, so the second mouse was safe to eat the cheese. :aaaah:

Two heads are better than one.

(You can get more done with two people that with one.)

Well as the saying goes if u eat from the pot that you cook food in instead of putting the food in a plate/bowl rain will fall on your wedding day. There was a brother in our church, on his wedding day the rain fell so hard it was almost like a storm. Well the general conculsion was that he ate from a pot very often. LOL

[collegegirl]

Marry in haste, repent at leasure. :eek:

(Back when divorces were unheard of, if you got married quickly, you were stuch for life.)

So where is yours? LOL :D

[blessed]

Well to be honest none comes to mind right now but im sure one will before the night is over :misli:

[collegegirl]

Here, you can use this one:

Whistling girls and crowing hens always come to some bad ends. That is for you blessed.

(I think it means that girls that whistle are doing something they shouldn't b/c it was unladylike, just like hens taking the place of roosters.)

Here's mine:

A stitch in time saves nine.

I think it means that if you take the time now to do something right, then you won't have to spend 9 times the effort RE-doing it later.

[blessed]

You all are so bad. Ummm.....Loose lips sink ships.

(back in the war, a loose word might let enemy spies create big problems.)

[collegegirl]

catch a starving man a fish, he will eat but for one day, teach that man to fish and he will start his own chain of Joe Tess fish resturants and put you out of business :(

The grass is always greener on the other side.

May bees don't fly in September.

[CalledOut]

never put all your eggs in one basket

[blessed]

LOL :D

May bees don't fly in September.
Why not? arent they all bees

[blessed]

For everything there is a season and a time, so please don't put the cart before the horse or all will end up in the ditch

[collegegirl]

Yeah, but bees don't fly in September. They fly in the spring and summer. So, it is saying that what has happened for years won't change, like people who have always done it at a specific way won't change.

You will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

[Christian-Samurai]

never bite off more than you can chew

[collegegirl]

Idle hands are the devil's workshop.

[Christian-Samurai]

[Christian-Samurai]

The rich get richer, while the poor get poorer

[collegegirl]

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

[Christian-Samurai]

I regret that i have but one life to give for my country

[collegegirl]

But as for me....Give me liberty or give me death. *patriotic music playing, American flag waving in the back ground*

[Christian-Samurai]

but for me and my house we shall serve the Lord forever

[collegegirl]

Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men were created equal.

[Christian-Samurai]

He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who never asks a question remains a fool forever.

[blessed]

When a man thinks that he is master of himself, the wise ones look and say that he is a fool

[marichino_freedom]

there are no stupid questions..(only stupid answers).

[blessed]

lol :rofl: .........

[collegegirl]

Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince.

[collegegirl]

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding.

[blessed]

Please,thankyou,goodmorning,goodafternoon,how are you

[collegegirl]

Two heads are better than one....

[Christian-Samurai]

three heads are one more head than two :D

[collegegirl]

Oh good grief. :rolleyes:

[blessed]

what in the world was that...would samauri care to tell us who came up with such a saying

[collegegirl]

Minus the fact that it wasn't even gramatically correct.

Better that people think you a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it.

[blessed]

lol lol :rofl: i have nothing to say concerning that

[collegegirl]

Too close for comfort.

[Christian-Samurai]

Give them an inch they take a mile

[collegegirl]

A mess by an inch is a cinch, but a mess by a mile takes a while.

Anyone that says you can't judge a book by it's cover is someone who has neither seen nor read a Harlequin Romance. (Please don't ask me to explain this one.)

BTW, I've never actually read a HR, but I have seen them. I don't feel as if I've missed out on anything.

Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.

[MariaJoy]

The grass is only greener on the other side b/c your neighbors septic tank is broken

[Mick_Mack89]

It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

*points to blessed and runs*

The hot dog is the noblest of all dogs, it feeds the hand that bites it.

[blessed]

Wise Men think alike
Fools seldom differ

[blessed]

He that calleth his brother a fool is in danger of hell fire

[Mick_Mack89]

A quiet tongue shows a wise head.



*looks around* Nope no wise heads 'round these parts.

[Christian-Samurai]
