A Bell saved is a Bell earned! A bad attitude will land you in the penalty box. A big nose never spoiled a handsome face. A cornered rat will summon the courage to bite a cat. A duck won't bite you. A fool and her Bells are soon parted. A fool and his Bells are soon parted. A friend in need is a friend indeed! A friend who shares is a friend who cares. A good attitude will always take you further than a bad habit. A good dog deserves a good treat. A good ninja is neither seen nor heard. A good start leads to a good end. A head shot is worth a thousand words. A house without either a cat or a dog is a sad house indeed. A lazy man begins work in the evening. A li'l wind goes a long ways. A little bit of happiness is better than a lot of anguish. A man's coop is his castle. A mother's work is never done. A pearl of wisdom is worth more than a diamond. A rotten turnip is still a turnip. A smile increases your face value. A snack a day keeps the vacuum away. A stitch in time saves nine. A stitch in time saves nine... more stitches. A thing of beauty is a joy forever! A tiger can't change its stripes. A wise duck takes care of her bill. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Act now before you change your mind! Actions speak louder than words. Age before beauty. All good things must come to an end. All publicity is good publicity! All that glitters is not gold. Always aim high! Always be down to monkey around! Always get it in writing. Always go for the burn! Always go for the gold! Always have a comeback. Always help a friend in need. Always keep a straight face. Always keep your cool. Always keep your wings manicured so you can fly away! Always land on your feet! Always lead by example. Always look both ways before crossing the street. Always remember the Boondoxians. Always trust a smiling cat. An ear for an ear leaves everyone deaf. An elephant never forgets. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Anything is delicious to a hungry belly. Appearances are, like, totally deceiving. Art feeds the soul. So does pizza. As Ma Gull used to tell me, always remember to...er...something... As soon as you can grow a mustache, do it. Ask for a hammer, and you'll get a needle. Bad luck is just luck that is bad. Be the class clown. Be true to yourself. Be yourself—everyone else is already taken. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty is pain! Before you judge someone, walk a mile in her hooves. Best not to say too much. Better a live coward than a dead hero. Better to have loved and squawked than to have never loved at all. Beware the hunger of the patient fisher. Birds of a feather crow together. Birds of a feather, et cetera, et cetera... Bob and weave! Bob and weave! Bread always falls peanut-butter side down. Bring all lost property to the police station. C'est la vie! Candy makes the world go 'round. Catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Charity begins at home. Children should be seen and not heard. Clothes totally make the man. Crime doesn't pay! Dance like no one's watching! Discretion is the better part of valor. Do as I say, not as I do. Do not compare a fly with an elephant. Don't be a sucker! Don't be afraid to show your fangs. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Don't blink or you'll miss it. Don't build a better mousetrap. Don't burn bridges. Don't cry wolf unless you mean it. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Don't get your feathers all ruffled. Just chill. Don't go nuts or anything. Don't have a cow. Don't judge a book by its cover. Don't judge a rabbit by it ears. Don't jump to conclusions! Don't just follow the flock. Don't look down your nose at people! Don't lose sight of what you're really after. Don't peck the hand that feeds you. Don't pine for the past. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Don't put the cart before the horse. Don't skip lunch. Ever. Don't stray too far from the pack. Don't sweat the small potatoes. Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better. Dreams are but a reflection of your unconscious self. Drink it hot or give it up. Duck...duck...GOOSE! Early to bed, early to rise. Earthquakes, thunder, fires, and fathers. Eat or be eaten. Eighth place is just the seventh loser. Eucalyptus is the spice of life. Even best friends start out as strangers! Even dogs won't get in the middle of true love. Even in a room full of fools, someone is the smartest. Even strong men cry. Even the smallest acorn may grow into the tallest tree. Even though there's no 'I' in team, there is a 'me'! Every adventure starts with a single step. Every cloud has a silver lining. Every day is a gift. Every face tells a story. Everything in moderation. Except for snacks. Everything is temporary. Evil lurks everywhere. Experience is the best teacher. Eyes are the window to the soul. Fake it till you make it. Fall down seven times, get up eight. Fine hair makes fine animals. Flying is believing. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, stop foolin' me. Fortune favors the brave! Friends go together like peanut butter and bananas. Frosting is just the icing on the cake. Funny parents have funny kids. Get fired up! Get while the getting's good. Good things come in small packages. Half a loaf is better than none. Happiness is a rainy day! Hard work beats talent. Hare today, gone tomorrow. He who hesitates has lost! Hindsight is always 20/20. Hippity-hoppity wish-wash-whoa! Hitch your wagon to a star. Home is where the heart is. Hop first; ask questions later. However little you think of an elephant, you can't say it won't fill a pot. I won't chase those who leave. I'll be there with Bells on! Ho ho! If a job is worth doing, do it right! If it's not one thing, it's another. If the mask fits, wear it! If the world is flooded, it will be easy for the duck. If we can't speak to each other, let's at least write. If you can't beat 'em, work harder. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. If you make your opponent flinch, you have already won. If you want something done well, do it yourself. If you want to know yourself better, ask your neighbors. If you're afraid of wolves, don't go to the woods. If you're gonna dream, dream big. Ignorance is bliss. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It takes more muscles to frown than to smile. It takes one to know one. It takes two to tango. It's all about positive thinking! It's all about the muscle. It's always a good hare day. It's always teatime somewhere. It's best to keep your lips and purse sealed. It's never too late for a snack. It's never too late to start over. It's not always a dog-eat-dog world. It's not old; it's vintage. It's the early bird that catches the worm! It's the thought that counts. Jasmine oil on a mole's head. Jump first; ask questions later. Keep it mellow. Keep it real. Real chill. Keep working, and the water mill won't freeze. Keep your chin up! Keep your eye on the prize. Keep your feet on the ground. Keep your nose clean. Knowledge is power. Ladies first! Laughter is the best medicine. Legs of an antelope, heart of an eagle. Let bygones be bygones. Let gossip go in one ear and out the other. Let sleeping dogs lie. Let them drink cream. Let yourself be fooled by me, darling. Let's get you in a new house today! Life is a buffet—always go back for seconds. Life is a piece of cake. Life is full of many journeys. Where they lead, no one can know. Life is just a bowl of cherries. Life is short and time is swift. Lightning never strikes twice. Like water off a duck's back. Little pitchers have big ears. Look at the world through rose-colored glasses. Look before you leap. Look behind you. Love has no bounds. Love is blind. Love is blue and pink. Love makes the world go 'round. Make hay while the sun shines. Meeting is just the start of us saying good-bye. MeowMEOWmeow! Might makes right. Mind your manners, or someone else will. Moo like there's no tomorrow. Mottoes are for the unoriginal. Nail polish is thicker than water. Nanny-nanny boo-boo! Never rest, never rust. Never say neigh. Never say never! Never settle for second best. Never take a nibble when you can take a bite. Never trot when you can prance. Never trust a sheep in wolf's clothing. New brooms sweep clean. No dog is above the law. No news is good news. No pain, no gain! No sweater off my back. No time like the present! Nobody's perfect. Nothing beats personal experience. Practice makes purrrfect! Promises are like pie crusts—they're made to be broken. Purple is the color of royalty. Read the soil instead of looking at the trees. Reckless youth makes rueful age. Refuse to lose. Remember to consider your retirement plan! Remember to keep your core muscles engaged! Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Rocky road is more than just a flavor of ice cream. Rules were made to be broken. Sail wherever the wind takes you. See no donut, hear no donut, speak no donut. Seize the day. Set 'em up and knock 'em down. Six of one, half dozen of the other. Sleep before you leap. Sleep early. Wake late. Slow and steady wins the race. Smile, and the world smiles with you. Smiles are free. Some birds avoid the water; ducks look for it. Sometimes dreams are merely dreams. Sometimes haste makes waste! Sometimes it's OK to get dirty. Sometimes life is rough. Sometimes you gotta learn to chill. Sometimes you have to lose to win. Squeak softly and carry a big stick. Squeak your mind, even if your voice shakes. Still waters run deep. Take the good with the bad. Tea is a cup of life. That's the way the energy bar crumbles. The IT revolution is under way. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The best defense is a good offense. The best is yet to come. The best part of spring is the picnics! The best things in life are free. The captain's wife steers the ship. The dog wags his tail, not for you, but for your bread. The ear's the thing. The first step is always the hardest. The gift says more about the giver. The good, the bad, the so-so... Make all of it work for you. The grass is always greener. The hero is brave in deeds as well as words. The horse doesn't pull the cart—the oats do. The lion's share goes to the lion. The more the merrier. The more you learn, man, the less you know. The only thing to fear is fear itself...and bees. The pirate kid doesn't fall far from the pirate tree. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. The road to a friend's house is never long. The sky's the limit! The squeaky wheel gets the cheese. The walls have ears. The way to a frog's heart is through his stomach. The world is a stage. There is a point to every encounter. There is beauty in everything. There is no right or wrong. There is only <span style="color:#e19200">Pavé</span>. There is no room for two dragons in one pond. There is such a thing as love at first sight. There's a black sheep in every family. There's always more fish in the sea! There's an exception to every rule. There's no such thing as a free lunch. There's no such thing as luck. There's no use crying over spilled milk. There's not a dog so bad that he won't wag his tail. Think before you act. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Time is money. Time makes fossils of us all. Time spent with friends is time well spent! Today is the last day of the rest of your life. Tread on a worm, and it will turn. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Trends always make a comeback. Trick or treat! Trouble never comes alone. Trouble rides a fast horse. Two-bedroom, two-bath home for rent! Inquire within! Waste not, want not. We're all diamonds in the rough. What goes around comes around. What goes up must come down. What is cheap is most costly. What you can't see can't hurt you. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! When someone says fly, you ask how high! When the world gets cold, just fly south. When you're a team of one, you're always captain! Whenever you think about bugging me, just look at this photo instead. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Why did the chicken cross the road? To avoid <span style="color:#e19200">Dr. Shrunk</span>! Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow. Winners don't quit, and quitters never win. Work smarter, not harder. You can always take the red-eye. You can never have too much of a good thing! You can't fight your genes. You can't have wise men if you don't have fools too. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't keep a good bird down. You can't learn a life lesson from a fortune cookie. You gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet. You gotta break a few shells to get to the nut. You gotta put the pedal to the metal! You mess with the bull, you get the horns. You mess with the wolf, you get the fangs. You must learn to waddle before you can swim. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. You never know how things might turn out. You only live once...or nine times. You reap what you sow. You snooze, you lose. You're not living unless you're sweating! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... ♪ Calmly gathering. Ah, the life of a hunter ♪
