Can you come up with a clever response to a popular saying?

My twist on a popular saying disclaimer: I am not religious.

Instead of ” Be in the world but not of it” I prefer, ” Be of the world but not in it.” lol

Maybe.

You won’t know anything unless you try.
How about trying to hug a cactus and see if it feels good?

Follow your heart.

But lead with your brain.

I always found this interesting:

United States:
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Sweden (Jantelagen):
The nail to stick it’s head up first will be pounded down.

“God won’t give you anything you can’t handle…”

Yep. That’s why suicide is definitely not a thing, and has never happened.

“The heart wants what the heart wants.”
Sure, but your head can tell it to shut the fuck up.

“Let’s agree to disagree.”
Or…I could bludgeon you to death and drop your body in the river.

@Espiritus_Corvus Haha
@Mariah No sheet!

“God works in mysterious ways.”

So does your brain.

Not so much a saying but a slogan. Every time I hear it I always thing the following.
“Diamonds are forever”
But we aren’t.

“Blood is thicker than water”
I’ll be back with a knife and a glass of water.

“an elephant never forgets….”
Forgets what exactly? Do you remember?

Beauty is only skin deep.

But ugly goes down to the bone.

“I am just big boned”.

You grandparents must have been T-Rexes>

Mom always said that “Money is made round to go ‘round”.

To which Dad would always counter “No, It is made flat to pile up”.

One from my kid when he was about three years old:
‘You catch more flies with honey than vinegar’ I said to him. ‘No you don’t. You use a flyswatter.’

Nobody goes there anymore because it’s so crowded.

Then let’s go to a place that’s always empty, because it’s so popular! ;-p

It goes without saying…

Than don’t.

@cazzie When my daughter was little, around 3–4, she loved Whales and called her nostrils ” blow holes.”
Once, when she had a cold she said ” my blow holes aren’t working.” lol

I’ve just remember another saying. I don’t remember the exact quote but it goes like this: “If you find something offensive, why do you spend so much time researching on it? You read a book from the first page to the very end then tell me you are offended, I’ll tell you you do so much work to be offended.”

My response to it: so if I don’t read the book and call it offensive, then what will you tell me? That I can judge the book just by looking at it? How about reading it halfway then saying it’s offensive? You’ll tell me I don’t take time to understand it fully. So you see, what should I do other than going through it?

When friends fall out & want to call a truce, ”Let’s shake & make up”
Sounds like Michael J Fox in his dressing room right before shooting a cosmetics commercial

“Neither a trend setter nor follower be.”

No “I” in team?

There’s an “M” and an “E.”

A friend in need is a dam pest.

No “I” in team?
But there are damn sure two in winning!
