Fav Quotes and sayings

[Lynnrose]

Just had an idea coz of something I wrote on the Hello and Goodbye thread....

"If you want to see a rainbow you'll have to put up with the rain" fav quote, said to me by my daughter when I was feeling crap one day."

Let's have your favourite quotes or sayings...some sayings might need an explanation of what they mean for members that have never heard of them.
I say loads of sayings during the course of a day, some I have to explain to my kids, but I reckon now they will be using most of them in their every day life, like "Once in a blue moon" I say that a lot.

It was used by my friend talking about her boss, not heard this saying before so I've no idea what she meant.

Hope it's not rude

To have "egg on your face" is to look look stupid for something you have said or done which turns out to be embarrassingly wrong.

If this statement is wrong, I'll have "egg on my face".
