    Old sayings or proverbs... got one?

    If I had a book of the buggers, I'd thumb through it as often, like a priest with a... :rolleyes:
    Anyone else enjoy old sayings?

    I have a few as common as they are:
    If I could describe this forum (OTF) with one I'd suggest: "If the cats away the mice will play."
    The Singleplayer forum: "Birds of a feather flock together" or "Keep your nose to the grindstone".
    D3 general discussion: "In with the new, out with the old."
    If I could imagine there are better ways to describe things like the above.

    Anyone have one for Youtube?...

    [Edit]
    Perhaps... by and all, newer sayings might be worth a post too, considering what wisdom they might impart...
    "Any and all, come one.. come all.. big or small."

    How can it be bad if it feels so good?

    Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.

    I always find myself Quoting The Notebooks of Lazarus Long.

    A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.

    Between the devil and the deep blue sea.

    Eat well, drink in moderation, and sleep sound, in these three good health abound.

    Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever.

    Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a night. Set him on fire, and he'll be warm for life!!


    And my favorite, I think it's from Sigmund Freud:
    What's the difference between you, and a Mallard with a cold? One is a sick duck... I can't remember how it ends, but your mother is a whore!

    My superiors go by this motto though one of 'm regularly takes it to "give a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set him on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life."

    I'm sure Bob can help you out telling y'all I could never come up with something that clever.
