When I was young I thought my Mom's old saying "Beauty is skin deep, but ugly holds it own" was so funny. Then I went to a reunion and guess what? She was right.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Never really figured that one out but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it. It takes pains to be beautiful. Pretty is as pretty does. The only thing you truly have to give is your word,when you give it,stand behind it. Never be noticed on a flying white horse. Never expect any more from people,than they are capable of giving.

So many of these sayings sound so familiar to me. Some of my favorites are:
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone. Beauty fades away but ugly holds its own.
Ugly as sin
Guilty as sin
As nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
I can think of more but don't want to take up all the space.
I have enjoyed hearing these sayings from all of you.
