    and here's someone else's favorite, I don't know if he stole it, but it's a good one:

    if you're going to be dumb, you'd better be tough.

    I know I'm not dumb, so I don't feel bad being cushy.

    Despite the 'maturity' of this 'proverb' haha... it'll be with me until I die.

    When I was a little kid, my mother, for some reason or another would say, "He who go to bed with itchy bum, wake up with stinnnnnnnnnnky finger"
    Oh man... I guess you'd have to be there to hear her say it. Tell your children?

    You can wrap your crap up in a pretty pink bow but it doesn't keep the flies away.

    too many co-incidences don't make a God wise

    (that's one of the lines from my poems) .....

    another one ...

    being in joy is like being a child ... sometimes you enjoy it, sometimes it feels immature

    (i wonder if it can be taken as a proverb !!!)

    ne ways nice thread

    something i once told my daughter..

    "girl who sleep with dog wake up with fleas"
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green
