What did your grandparents used to tell you???
When a man who has been previously married marries a woman who has been previously married, four people go to bed. If rich people could hire other people to die for them, the poor could make a wonderful living Interest on debts grow without rain. The soldiers fight, and the kings are heroes. Parents can give everything but common sense. Everyone is kneaded out of the same dough but not baked in the same oven If they give you, take: if they take from you, yell! A rich mouthful, a heavy groan. After nine months the secret comes out. If all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over. Don't approach a goat from the front, a horse from the back, or a fool from any side. If you want your dreams to come true, don't sleep. One of our favorites! Lose an hour in the morning, chase it all day To every answer you can find a new question One good deed has many claimants. Show a dog a finger, and he wants the whole hand A fool says what he knows, and a wise man knows what he says. Weeping makes the heart grow lighter. Make new friends, but don't forget the old ones. If you and all your neighbors lay all of your problems on your respective front lawns, you'd look them all over, and end up taking back your own. New!
