Pro -proverb

Proverbs have a tendency to come true as you age.Because they were formed by aged people?:)
How often have we gone through situations and realized that they are apt for particular proverbs.
For example:getting slapped after proposing to a girl-'Show your other cheek when you get slapped on one'!
A more appropriate one would have been-'Do unto others what others do unto you'.
When you fail in an exam-'Try,try,never say die' or a better one would be-'Try,try until you dry out!"
  Some nice thoughts about life:

1. One of my favourites goes like this- Life is what happens to you when you are busy making plans for something else!!
2. Live life KING SIZE!!
3. It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

These are my wife's!I had to force her to fork out these!I will keep adding to these in future.
