Remember the "Old Saying" thread

[GON]

Thought to start a thread where BITOG members share an old saying that is meaningful/ helpful, etc.

Here is one. Looking forward to reading what you share/ post:

"He who represents himself has a fool for a client".

The above is in reference to a defendant representing themselves in court.

"You lie and I'll swear to it"

" A Fool and his money are soon parted".

My grandma told me this when I told her I was getting married... Been married 22+ years and I got a lot more money now than I did then...

just my $0.02

My grandfather would say this about things that didn't work well or were broken.

"that's as handy as a busted door knob on an outhouse door..."

just my $0.02
