Sweet to the tired is bitter to the rested.

Pendulums swing but prisms refract.

when life gives you lemons, make time

It's better to break horses than to gallop aimlessly

three sure things in life
pain, death and carrots

please don't talk about baseball

possibility is a crane of deceit

a prussian in the russian embassy

it is always 4:43 when the time runs out

Only if the team is behind. It just means the keeper has come out for the last corner.

Ain't no train can train a train

A melon's always mighty til it's in the patch.

every time a pony smiles, a beetle gets its sun chips

Wear your glasses too tight, roll over all night.

The world does not need a stricter teabag.

Sounds to me like a case of the bird calling the beetle a bull.

What use is a sideways wheel to a sleigh hound in summer?

Coffee before you get 8on the bus will make you want to piss and cuss.
