What did your grandparents used to tell you???
Tomorrow your horse may be lame. To every answer you can find a new question. A child's tear rends the heavens. None so deaf as those who will not hear The wheel turns round A man comes from the dust and in the dust he will end--and in the meantime it is good to drink a sip of vodka. When the light is crooked, the shadow is crooked The schlemiel lands on his back and bruises his nose. What you save is, later, like something found. If a link is broken, the whole chain breaks. A golden key will open every lock. Make sure to send a lazy man for the Angel of Death. If God were living on earth, people would break his windows. If we all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over. When you have no linen, you save the laundry bill Your health comes first--you can always hang yourself later. When it falls, it falls butter side down If you ever need a helping hand you'll find one at the end of your arm. Worries go better with soup than without. A man cannot jump over his own shadow.
