I've heard a lot of old sayings, but I never heard this one. My grandson would love it. :mrgreen:

The saying - you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear means that you can't start with something poorly suited or inferior and expect to make it into something wonderful anyway. If you want a silk purse, you need to start with silk. (At least that's how I interpret the old saying)

This isn't an old saying but it's pretty true... Happy wife, Happy life. At least, I like it.

1. Wind from the east is fit for man nor beast.
2. Red sky at night - sailor's delight. Red sky at morn - sailor's forewarn.

My grandmother & her father--my great grandfather, had a saying for almost everything. They also only planted certain things on certain days or moon cycles.
