UNQUOTABLE QUOTES: XLV - Tongue teasing epigrams
A stitch in time can save an arranged marriage and stave off a family feud, not to mention everlasting vendettas.
Still waters run deep in sleep.
When the hens begin to crow, the cocks don’t grow.
A whipped dog bites not the whip that flails it, but the hand that feeds it
