I love old sayings, pithy distillations of common wisdom. The one that comes to mind now is "It's an ill wind indeed that blows nobody good." The ill wind in mind is California's terrible drought. Bad as it is, it has one good effect, the belding's ground squirrels are out early. I have had three good shoots already, about a month early. Alfalfa radiers beware!

There is no problem too small, or too large, which cannot be resolved with the proper application of high explosives.

Early bird gets the worm, which is a very good out look since those following will find more wary worms.

Look before you leap as caution is called for when worm hunting so one does not end up with a bad snake.

My grandmother, a young woman during the depression, was found of saying, "if you've ate beans, you've ate."

Mart


"...I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

In the Middle Ages, folks only bathed once or twice a year. Dad went first, then Mom, then the kids in age order. Might not have been difficult to throw out the baby.

Here's one that is generally misunderstood.

"The cat's out of the bag."

Meaning, when a sailor was sentenced to flogging, appeals were heard until the bosun's mate pulled the cat out of the bag. Thank God those days are over.

Slightly similar, here's one that I heard from an old union boss twenty years ago:

"It's all saucered and blowed."

Two other good ones that came to mind after reading all of these:

Life is like a shit sandwich; in that the more bread you have, the less shit you have to eat...

She's so ugly you check wikipedia and under the word "Ugly" they have her picture.

or: She's so ugly they don't have a picture, just the negative.

Sunshine is like cleavage, you don’t want to stare at either one to long.
The more people I meet, the better I like my dog!
Three men can usually keep a secret, if two of them are dead!
Courage is often lack of insight, whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.
Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
It’s hard to make a comeback when you haven’t been anywhere.
