Can you please put here, important sayings which are of great use in our day to day life. It can be proverb, it can be idiom, it can be phrase.
Examples:
Proverb: Fortune favours the bold
Idiom: Behind one's proposal (secrets things hidden in the proposal)
To let the grass grow under one's feet (to over delay and action)

Excellent. In fact many newspapers carried syndicated article "sayings" of Ralph Waldo Emerson. It ran in one of our newspapers for 2 to 3 years. This one sent by you is very good. Thanks for the response. What you should have done is to elaborate the above saying to make the response even more interesting.

One of my favorite expressions is "If you can't beat em, join em". Another of my philosophies I try to hand down to younger folks is......"I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet." It show the young people that no matter how bad things are.....somebody is worse off.
