However it is worth researching the origin of these sayings as the usage has changed a lot over the years.<br /><br />A lot of these sayings were even adapted from the Bible like 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' could very well read 'Better a living dog than a dead lion' from Ecclesiastes.<br />Also 'let sleeping dogs lie' could well be 'Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own' Prov 26:17.<br /><br />It really is all down to the context in which these proverbs are used.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009143619128599368.post-6010439867953900492011-06-17T20:25:45.998+01:002011-06-17T20:25:45.998+01:00lol you are right sha.. lol i just use them when i...lol you are right sha.. lol i just use them when it suits the situation i am in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009143619128599368.post-9597565351955434892011-06-17T20:21:57.635+01:002011-06-17T20:21:57.635+01:00lol @ some of these...so true too.
