Little red book of proverbs

O'Brien, Terry (Quiz master)2011
Book
The man who offers an insult writes it in sand; the man who knows his PROVERBS has it chiselled in gold. The Best Truths are Proverbs. You have to know a lot to know how little you know. Little Red Book of Proverbs is a treasure chest-the bottom line: if you can't convince them, confuse them: * Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream. * If you can talk, you can sing; if you can walk, you can dance. * He who likes cherries soon learns to climb. * The gods send nuts to those who have no teeth. * When the lion shows its teeth, don't assume that it is smiling. * Deceit is a lie that wears a smile. So lets begin-make deposits in the memory bank!
