You can lead a gift horse to water but you can’t look at its mouth.
Don’t put the cart before the barn door opened.
That book about “men and venus and mars and women”.
Isn’t it pretty how the shore goes right down to the water’s edge?
And I forgot this one: I beleive in being dumb to kind animals.
Give a man a match and he will be warm for an hour. Light a man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.
And one for birthdays:
Forget about the past - you can’t change it.
Forget about the future - you can’t predict it.
Forget about the present - I didn’t get you one.

I have been doing so much with so little for so long, they now expect me to do the impossible with nothing.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
If the shoe fits, wear it on the other foot.
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t.
Familiarity breeds.
Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows.
Jesus saves, but Moses invests.
I went to an Ag school. Normal people may not find this amusing.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t lead a whore to culture.
You can lead a whore to water, but you can’t make her think.
Gravity is a hoax. The earth sucks.
And one I just made up.
If it can’t be written in a bathroom stall, it’s not worth learning.
If you can’t say something nice, shut the f*ck up.

Weather is here. Wish you were beautiful.
“The early bird that gets the worm works for the guy who owns the worm farm and comes in late” --John D. MacDonald
“Jesus saves–Buddah recycles”
Oh brother. For the ninetieth time, that is not the slogan. It is “No matter where you go, there you are.”
I don’t like the movie, but I used to hang out with a girl who had that on a t-shirt, and since then, it makes my teeth ache to see or hear people misquoting it.
I’m tired of beating my head against a dead horse.

Might as well give it up Rilchiam. I say it the incorrect way, and I’ll still keep saying it that way. Why? Because it sounds better. It shortens the opening phrase makes it sound more balanced with the concluding phrase. It’s also easier to remember.
That happens a lot with quotations. Bogie never said, “Play it again, Sam.” He said, “If she can stand it, I can. Play it.” Cagney never said, “You dirty rat” either, nor did Holmes say, “Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.” They came close, but we rewrote their words for them and made them icons, just like we did with Buckaroo.

A bird in the hand is a very messy thing
You can lead a horse to water, but why?
If you can’t say something nice, come sit next to me

If you live in a glass house, don’t throw up.
If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day. If you give a man $10000, he should eat for a week at least.
Cat. It’s not just for breakfast any more.
The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
Misery loves strange bedfellows.
I’m into S&M, bestiality, and necrophilia. Am I beating a dead horse?
