Thank you Lesley_gene for passing the baton to me in the mugdot LXXXIV Squiggle challenge. The Common Phrases I am proposing for the current challenge will be active through Aug 4th and I will annouce the winner on the 5th of August. HAVE FUN!!


"COMMON PHRASES"

I Love old phrases. I am talking about those old spoken expressions, full of wisdom and respectful advice such as:


-Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house

-It is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt

-Don't criticize unless you have walked a mile in his shoes

-A rolling stone gathers no moss

-A house divided against itself cannot stand

-It is better to give than receive

-Don't cast your pearls before swine

-The spirit is willing but, the flesh is weak

-Reap what you sow

-A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

-Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all

-Blood is thicker than water

-Money is the root of all evil

-An apple a day keeps the doctor away


If you find yourself stuck for an idea try out this website:

IT'S FULL OF AMAZING PHRASES!!

Startlingly (considering all the advice I hand out!), seems there's only one maxim in my gallery.... I'll have to do something about that. Meanwhile --
