Sticks and stones
may break my bones
but a knife in my heart
kills me.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
When life
gives you lemons,
it means life
ran out of mangoes.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The early worm
dies to
the bird.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
People in glass houses
laugh at strangers
who stand soaked
in the pouring rain.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Don't count
your chickens
before they've hatched
because they
are all probably dead.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They built the fence
to prevent you from seeing
the greener grass
on the other side.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If silence is golden,
then is speaking up
worth dirt?
