Many a twist betwixt the tongue and the Trompe d' Eustache...
Unquotable quotes - XIII: Tongue-Teasing Epigrams
Follow love for it’s free, free love and it’ll flee.
Do unto others as you would have them undress you.
Easy come, eenie meenie mini go.
Practice makes sex a maniac.
God helps those who help ten elves.
Never kiss a gift horse in the mouth.
People who live in glass houses should not throw boomerangs.
Two heads are no better than none.
Actions speak louder than burps.
A watched pot suffers from boils.
You can’t make a cutlet without breaking legs.
Hang on the hand that feeds you.
All good things must come to a fiend.
If you can’t beat ‘em, grind ‘em.
If it ain’t broke, don’t make it work.
Dislocation is the greater part of valour.
There’s no place like eohm.
A picture is worth a thousand broads.
Better late than dump her.
The pen is mightier than the sword for those who’re
illiterate.
One man’s trash is another man’s pleasure.
Beauty is in the dye of the painter.
Myopia is the mother of the optician.
Familiarity breeds when people camp unkempt.
Good things come to those who know how to put on weight.
A drain is only as long as the longest drink.
Absence makes the heart go ablunder.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him blink.
In teaching others we teach ourselves to teach others.

Very clever and creative. Had me laughing. One of those I often refer to from Waterhole #9, when James Coburn (may he rest in feces) famously pronounced: "Do onto others, before they do it on to you."
During my time as a reluctant college professor, that second to last line apply perfectly to me. Suddenly, I could solve all the problems in the textbook easily while the students seem to struggle without my help. And, I could spot all the errors in the book. One textbook was so bad that I told the students if they read something that looked wrong, it most probably was.
Finally, that last one is the new mantra from the right wing of politics in the United States.
