Top 10: Proverbs

I’ve always liked reading other peoples thoughts, theories, ideas and opinions and so here begins the first of my new topic, ’top 10′.  These are my own personal favourites; anecdotes, phrases, quotes, products, jokes or anything else in between. First on the agenda, proverbs.

Proverb: ”A short well known saying that expresses an obvious truth and often offers advice”

  1. Money makes the world go round.
  2. Youth is wasted on the young.
  3. Never judge a book by its cover
  4. Two heads are better than one.
  5. Time is a great healer.
  6. Procrastination is the thief of time.
  7. Better safe than sorry.
  8. It never rains but it pours.
  9. Laughter is the best medicine.
  10. There’s no place like home.

The proverb I detest the most is: ‘It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all’. Do you have any favourite proverbs?
