Poem
Unquotable quotes - I A friend in need is the goon who stokes your greed. A journey of a thousand miles ends with the last broken step. Don’t kill the brother-in-law until the sister is dead. Butter your toast on either side to lick hands. Hang not the hangman with noose: you’ll lose booze. Half a loaf is better than no love. Even a blind cat can smell a rat that bells the cat. Take care of the pounds and the wife will pound you. Take the load off your own fat. Shoot to kill only if you can’t stand still. Slow and steady are two legs in a sack race. A marksman is the marked man’s also-ran. A blacklisted writer is on every publisher’s reading list. A dime a dozen is no denizen. He who cries thief knows no mischief. Turn coat and capsize boat. A snake in the grass may miss Mass but is full of grace. Early to bed catches the worm. All that glitters cannot be sold. Immolate yourself to moult your soul. Even if you’re forced to burn your boats, fly by air. Where there’s a will, there’s no giving way. Run also with the hares and the hounds will eat you. A little knowledge makes the master grin. Birds of a feather share the same tailor. Don’t judge a woman with a book by its covers. If you kick a can down the street, empty it first. What burns up and out is the gas in the gut. A stitch in time saves kith but not kin. Forewarned is foredamned. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, just lay them. If the hens begin to crow, the cocks will lie low. If you pour oil on troubled waters, Mid-East will dry up. Still waters run in sleep. Parallel lives never meet or greet. © T. Wignesan - Pris, 2016
