Please, leave out the, “Even a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” sort of profound twaddle. Certainly none of the noxious “Today is the first day of the rest of your life” drivel. We’re looking for solidly funny old sayings.
Here’s a few:
Winter teaches a naked woman how to knit.
[sup]DANISH SAYING[/sup]
The gift everybody gives but nobody takes, advice.
[sup]FRENCH SAYING[/sup]
People who brag about their ancestors are like potatoes,
the best part is underground.

Piet Hein ~ Danish philosopher, mathematician, scientist and author - and the inventor of the superellipse and soma cube. I love Hein’s collection of poems (maybe 10,000) in his “Grooks” series, out of print.
