You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Darker than the inside of Nick's hatband.

We had a math teacher (an old bachelor) who had a million of them. One of his favorites was Colder than a mother-in-law's love. Don't know how he knew that!!

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE OLD SAYING?

An old favorite of mine to say is "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face".

Sweep your own doorstep before you try & sweep others!

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

Having lived all over the US I have heard most of these but there is a saying up here I had never heard before, "It is what it is." Even the weather lady said it on tv.
