Recently my friends and I seem to have been using more and more old sayings/proverbs
to describe situations that we have found ourselves in. Of course there is always one that
will contradict another, but they are interesting to know, hence I have compiled a list of
some of my favourites, not all of the commonly used ones are on the list, but the ones
that have the best meanings.
