THE FIVE RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE

1. Money cannot buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to cry in a
Corvette than on a bicycle.

2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the a*****e's name.

3. If you help someone when they're in trouble, they will remember you
when they're in trouble again.

4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.

5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then neither does milk.

Default You sure see a culture and historical period in these Proverbs!

Proverbs 22:17 - 24:34 - Thirty Sayings of the Wise - Saying 1 - Bible Gateway

You also see a historical period and culture in many of these:
