    I love sayings! They aren't stuffy and hoity-toity...but straight to the point and full of practical wisdom.

    Please share the sayings you know even if they are well-known. Most of them are worth being remind of.

    Here are some off the top of my head which I like:

    "corpo sano mente sana" (in portuguese; "healthy body, healthy mind")

    "nothing's black and white"

    "you can't have the cake and eat it too"

    "the proof of the pudding is in the eating"

    "there is a silver lining to every cloud"

    "haste makes waste"

    "first things first"

    "one thing at a time"

    "talk the talk, walk the walk"

    Win or lose, you drink the booze.

    The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

    Be careful that the toes you step on today aren't connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow.

    It takes a brave man to swim in the Red Sea, but a hero to drink from it.
