Thought for the day...

Can’t see the forest for the trees; can’t feel the wind for the breeze.



Clay on sand makes good land, but sand on clay is thrown away.



Unless the vessel is clean, what you pour into it turns sour.



Have not only clean hands, but clean minds.


He who would be too clever, makes a fool of himself.

 

Cleverness does not take the place of knowledge.



If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull.



He that has never climbed has never fell.



The only perfect climate is in bed.



Ideas depend upon the climate of opinion.

 

How I wish it was only one day...

 

You can’t make a good cloak out of a bad cloth.

As cold as the north side of a gravestone in winter.

First come, first served.



Go uninvited and you go unattended.



If you can’t command yourself, you can’t command others.



A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning.
