On my mind...

An apple a day makes you type out clichés.

A bird in the hand is worth a whole meal at KFC.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be without money problems.

If you can't say something nice about people, Tweet it.

Blood is thicker than water that did not come from a tap in Detroit.

Actions speak louder than words, unless the person shouts while doing something really crazy.

The early bird catches the worm because no one else wants to eat it.

The pen is mightier than the sword, especially if you write with a gun.

No man is an island; most are archipelagos that seem endless and very distant.

Do not judge a book by its cover; read the first page and then get disappointed.

It takes two to tango, but only one to embarrass yourself.

Practice what you preach, unless you are an amateur proctologist.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three comes pretty close.

All's well that ends by the time the clock runs out.

Familiarity breeds contempt; families breed too much.

Love is blind, deaf, dumb, and often ignores the senses of smell and taste.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, unless you are using a dictionary (mine has it next to ''cleavage'').

Look before you leap, and then take the stairs.

Practice makes perfect...that's why I keep practicing...
