Top Ten Inspirational Proverbs

The Top Ten
1 A ship in the harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for

True. I get in trouble a lot for being too risky.

2 He who fishes in another man's well, often catches crabs
3 In a closed mouth, flies do not enter
4 Drop by drop a whole lake becomes
5 You will never plow a field if you only turn it over in your mind
6 A peacock who sits on his tail is just a turkey

Oh I dunno. The average American thunder chicken could neatly kick the crap outta the baddest pretty-boy swish fowl ever born. So there's that.

7 If you dig a hole for someone else, you will fall into it
8 You will never get to the top by sitting on your bottom
9 Words have no wings but can travel a thousand miles
10 There are no shortcuts to any place worth going

Just as well I prefer the scenic route.

The Contenders
11 Rely on the experiences of the past in interpreting the present
12 A chain is as good as its weakest link
13 When you don't support a friend, he doesn't collapse. He hardens.

That's quite a heartbreaking statement.
