Haste makes waste

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link

A fool and his money are soon parted

He fell out of the Stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Got a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thingy to hold it all

together

Live and learn

Live and let live

Life is change and change is life

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making plans

If you rest, you rust

The only permanent thing is change

Intellectuals solve problems ; geniuses prevent them

C’est la vie

Que sera, sera

What goes around comes around

Today is the first day of the rest of your life

Laughter is the best medicine

Take it with a grain of salt

Smile, it makes people wonder

Always look on the bright side of life

There are plently more fish in the sea

All is fair in love and war

Tomorrow is another day

Its always darkest before the dawn

This too, shall pass

It has to get worse before it gets better

Life’s not so bad, when you consider the alternative

When it rains, it pours

Life goes on

Everything is relative

Life sucks, and then you die…

Time will tell

No news is good news

Someday my ship will come in

All good things come to those that wait

No guts, no glory

There is nothing to fear but fear itself

Bad news travels fast

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Pretty is as pretty does

What goes around comes around

Do as I say, Not as I do

Lay an egg

Have a cow

Nip and Tuck

Forgive and Forget

Barrel of laughs

The butt of the Joke

Rode hard and put away wet

Fox guarding the hen house

The pot calling the kettle black

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Calm before the storm

chew the cud

Make a silk purse from a sow’s ear

No good deed goes unpunished

give them enough rope to hang themselves

A** so tight she squeaks when she walks

Time is of the essence

hang in there

live and let live

every dog has it’s day

You can dress her up but you can’t take her out!

By the skin of her teeth

He’s his own worst enemy

eat and run

back seat driver

hasn’t got a pot to pi** in or a window to throw it out!

There are bigger fish to fry!

when life throws you lemons, make lemonade

sick and tired

believe in yourself

make an a** out of yourself

by and large

wake up and smell the coffee

life’s a b**** and then you die

hot as hell

cut it out

bad blood

under the weather

nip in the bud

high and dry

the early bird catches the worm

money doesn’t grow on trees

this too shall pass

a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush

stubborn as a mule

at the drop of a hat

not tonight

LOL

OMG

I learned it by watching you.

UH OH spaghetti O’s

If you buy I’ll Fly

Girl, why you so mad lookin?

I’m a grown @ss man.

A Bird In The Hand is Better than a bird in the bush.

Don’t count your chickens before the eggs hatch.

The green is always greener on the other side.

You made your bed now lay in it.

What goes around comes around

You can lead a horse to water but you can make him drink it.

Cheeks like roses

What goes up must come down

What’s done in the dark will come to light.

Whenever we were slow to eat something, my (British) mother would say “There’s nothing worse than cold porridge” (or stew, or eggs, or whatever you were eating), and in summer “there’s nothing worse than warm salad”. It became the family joke, of course, but I haven’t heard it elsewhere.

She was always bringing out other OLD favourites like:

make hay while the sun shines / a stitch in time saves nine / look before you leap / don’t judge a book by its cover / marry in haste, repent at leisure / where there’s smoke, there’s fire / don’t change horses in mid-stream

I’m not sure if these are “cliches”, but are some of my favourite sayings I’d hear all the time as a kid growing up in the country in Australia:

* eat ya crust, it’ll make ya hair go curly

* tomatoes are good fer ya, put hair on ya chest

* I’m so hungry I could eat the crotch outa a low flying duck

* need a shovel for that verbal diarrhea?

* stop pissin in the wind

* [pull a face] if the wind changes you’ll stay like that

* let’s hit the frog’n’toad (go for a drive)

* grab the tin lid (don’t forget the kid)

* buggar that!

* well I’ll be buggared

* for f*ck’s sake

* f*ck me dead

* pissed as a nit

* horny as a cat in heat

* he’s off his nut

* as mad as a meat axe

* as mad as a cut snake

* as crazy as a trapped rat

* gotta die of sumthin

* as dead as a doornail
