Surely you have been in a conversation when someone says, "what's the old saying?" -- and then they proceed to state some form of a quotation or phrase. Here's the one someone threw at me the other day. "What's the old saying, 'It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission'?" And I was like "What?" I've never heard that before in my LIFE! And then we started talking about phrases and old sayings that are used frequently in our own conversations with others, and trying to think of others that might sound like you made it up because people don't use them as much.
I heard this one in a pop song recently,
"Loose lips sink ships."
Never heard that before....
"No need to reinvent the wheel."
"It's not rocket science."
"The best cure for a short temper is a long walk."
"A turtle travels only when it sticks its neck out."
"As long as you live, keep learning how to live."
"Be not overcome with evil, but repay evil with good." - Bible
"When you go to a donkey's house, don't talk about ears."
So far, that's my favorite.
"Please all, and you will soon please none." - Aesop
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." - C. C. Colton
