Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Birds on the wing always fly south
The true st greatness lies in being kind
The true st wisdom in a happy mind
Presence is more than just being there
Haste in every business brings failure
Inspiration never arrived when you search
To do two things at once is to do neither
Greater is he who acts from love
Than he who acts from fear
Music is well said to be the speech of angels
A car won't move unless you put it in gear
You don't have to cross the river to
get a drink
Them funny old sayings really
Make you think
Yes they do my friend, I love to use these funny old sayings with my first grade students. It's fun to watch them try to figure out the hidden message, a great exercise to make them stop and think. I used the the one about the gift horse a couple of years ago...tried as they may they never could figure out the hidden message...after I explained it, they loved it and I actually heard one of them use it with another student. Enjoyed this much, cleverly written my friend!
