Famous Sayings

There’s many famous sayings I’ve heard I’m sure you’ve heard them to, So see if you remember As I mention just a few. There’s “Home is where the heart is” Or “Little pictures have big ears” And “It’s not how many years you spend It’s how you spend your years”. “God helps them that helps themselves” “You can do it if you try”. “Many hands make light work” “There’s more to this than meets the eye” “A mans home is his castle“ “You can‘t make a crab walk straight“ “A word to the wise is sufficient“ “It‘s always hurry-up and wait“. “Birds of a feather flock together“ And another I recall “It‘s better to have loved and lost Than to never have loved at all“. Well that‘ll do it for a while I know there‘s many more It‘s true it‘s me that brought them up But I sure don‘t know what for!.
