Laughter is the best medicine.
Unless, of course, you really are sick.
Strike while the iron is hot ...
... if you hate housework, it helps to abuse the appliances, even when they're working.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
But it doesn't work for his wife.
Make hay while the sun shines....
....unless the circus is in town.
A stitch in time
saves you from showing your ass when you bend down.
Pride goeth before a fall...
...and the paparazzi will undoubtedly be snapping pictures when you land.
More haste less speed.
As Mother Superior told her divinity class.
He who hesitates is lost....
....unless everyone you know has urged you to reconsider marriage with that thuggish no-goodnik.
Grab while the iron is hot.
But keep your asbestos gloves on.
Too many cooks....
...just reheat convenience food.
Out of sight, out of mind. ..
... but you can often still smell whatever it is.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
The teeth might scare you.
A long thread makes a lazy stitch....
....but I hate threading needles.
Slow and steady wins the race ...
... not when you're sprinting, it doesn't.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...
...but it's a fine line between "imitation" and "stalking behavior."
One swallow doesn't make a summer....
....and one snowflake can certainly prolong a winter.
All that glitters is not gold.
As the Duchess said to the butler.
Speak the truth and shame the devil....
...and delight the tabloids.
Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free...
...but you'll still have to pay the mortgage.
If at first you don't succeed...
...don't take up parachuting.
