It's never too late to mend If you don't have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all!

This was a referance to the high wages paid to garbage collectors at one time Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves The way to a man's heart is through his stomach (attributed to Ania Ras, Poland)
Mouth is in gear, brain is in neutral There's always a deep breath before a plunge You can't take it with you
Possible Interpretation: If something is good for one person, it is good for everyone; The squeaky wheel gets the grease
All sizzle and no steak Hunger makes good kitchen Garbage in, garbage out
Possible interpretation: forbidden things are the most tempting (Biblical origin) Wide ears and short tongue are the best An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth Play on 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away'
This is often misstated as the proof is in the pudding Happy wife, happy life Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me
That I have no time for Interpretation: A flawed article will require a lot of effort to work with
First come, first served Ignorance is bliss An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure
Variant: A bird in the hand makes it hard to blow your nose In the end, a man's motives are second to his accomplishments Play on 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' If you practice wrong you will always do it wrong
Before criticizing a man, walk a mile in his shoes While the cat is away, the mice will play Little things please little minds
Briefer version 'A miss is as good as a mile' Friedrich Nietzsche, The Twilight of the Idols (1888) Faint heart ne'er won fair lady Alternate: If something is worth doing, someone will have already done it
Possible Interpretation: A need kept a secret will never be addressed Great oaks from little acorns grow You have to crawl before you can walk Hard words break no bones Software and Sex are good, when they are free
