Sayings

[Anonymous]

Hello guys!

I hope you are having a good week so far. Cheer up! We're almost there.

I thought it could be a good idea to create a thread about the sayings you guys know. Probably some of them are very popular but I'm sure there are a lot I/we have never heard.

What phrases/sayings/proverbs represent your life?

Which ones do you usually say?

I'll go first: 'The grass is always greener on the other side'

Meaning: You always think that what's happening to others is better than yours.

charity begins at home

never mind the quality, feel the width

to throw the cat amongst the pigeons

laugh & the world laughs with you, cry & you cry alone

all that glitters it not gold

look before you leap

many hands make light work

too many cooks spoil the broth

it you can's stand the heat, get out of the kitchen

the definition of a Yorkshireman is a generous Scotsman 

tha can allus tell a Yorkshireman, but tha canna tell 'im much   

a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush

trying to get eg words out of you, is like trying to get blood of a stone

penny wise, pound foolish

dancing about like a cat on hot bricks

he's got long pockets & short arms

most of the above are proverbs I remember from school
