Old Sayings

Two of my Dad's favs

Dad had two originals; I think.

Son, there are two kinds pf people. The ones who think there's just two kinds of people, and all the rest of us who know better.

Fits about like socks on a rooster.
 
Here are two from my father that has always been some of my favorites:

"Never trust a skinny cook!" :D

"If you can't find the time to do it right the first time, then how are you going to find the time to do it over?" :cool:

From Loony Tunes decades ago. " Ya caint tell what's in the pickle barrel till'en ya get the lid off!"
 
I'm with bamabiker on this one!
I'll have to sit this one out, my grandfather and father were humble quite men but their sayings while legendary aren't politically correct any longer if they ever were!
Dad was very quick and loved to quote Confucius time to time, although I was never a scholar and studied the arts I learned many lessons from them.
"Silence is a true friend who never betrays."

"We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one." ~ Confucius

"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." ~ Confucius

One of Dad's favorites just to make the kids laugh (only innocent one I can think of that won't get me banned)...
"Man who goes to bed with itchy butt, wake up with stinky fingers"

If you lie down with dogs, you'll rise up with fleas.

The bitterness of poor quality lasts long after the sweetness of low price is gone.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people and those who don't.
 
Words from my grandmother.

Don't marry em till ya see them dripping wet out of the shower

Eat it while it's there, because if it's not there you ain't eating it.

And yes she used more grammatically correct versions.
