Proverbs/Sayings...

What are your favourite sayings/proverbs?

Couple of mine are: I'm a great believer in 'You reap what you sow'/'what goes around comes around'- it seems so true in everyday life. Also 'every cloud has a silver lining'- cheery thought for when things are not always going right for you.

Years ago we had a plumber working in the house and a curious, chatty 3 year old.
The plumber came out with a lovely saying 'He could talk a gramophone to scrap metal'
'He needs a pipe to the barrel,' was another one from the same source.
