hmm; i think i am going to add another saying

Mohamed Ali Clay
very nice one. Is it really said by him
well, my brother told me that, and i trust him :p so i am sure :p i will check on google.
.....
yes he did! here is the real one " I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home. "
i took it from this site
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0248667/quotes
very spectacular.
I never thought he would have said such a thing.
A great person always does great things
anyway what do you think about this idiom.
Be "true blue"
If a person/object/situation is considered to be 'true blue', it is considered genuine.

"A friend is a person you find whrerever you need"

hello, i am back from school and i remembered something ^^ i hope you like it! it so ling, so i am going to write few of it
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward! by omerta lamb of god!
shall i write the rest? icon088
thumbsup-Icon well it's very nice. I'm really wondering what made you think I won't like it.
anyway I'm waiting for the rest
icon102
icon088
ok ^^
here it is : Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without police protection is both. It is as cowardly to betray an offender to justice, even though his offences be against yourself, as it is not to avenge an injury by violence. It is dastardly and contemptible in a wounded man to betray the name of his assailant, because if he recovers, he must naturally expect to take vengeance himself... <3 i love it
Very spectacular. I dought if I can keep it by heart
well,right now I can think of no more idioms.

one mouth means two hands :p
the second one is: ( even if it is the opposit ) :p
One child, a wonderful thing
Two children, something big
it is not that good, it is supposed to be in arabic
alright what about this one. I really like it.
Icon06 To take somebody's brains
iconQ Meaning: to find out info about people by asking them
Icon498 Now with some funny proverbs about guests
Icon0e0 Of course, not all guests are heavy-blooded. These are just jokes
.A daily guest is a thief in the kitchen
Proverb
.Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days
- Benjamin Franklin
.A guest never forgets the host who had treated him kindly
- Homer
.The first day, a guest; the second, a burden; the third, a pest

icon147......What a sad story.icon801 No one but a few members have participated in my thread until now
oh, come on!! i am sure that more will do :) ok, here is mine
it is from a song called 321 by scorpions
"Time is a wicked master
Put your life into its hand
Close your eyes and it will crush you
Rage only spins you faster
It's a curse born unto man
Turns your dreams into disaster"
another one from the same song ^^
"Lies it's the truth I'm after
Let me find it in your eyes
Quick before the moment dies
Cries in a sea of laughter
Weepin' gently in my soul
Love's the only thing that matters"
i am finally back to post some stuff :D
^_^ Nice one although taken from a song
here is mine. It's old but I hope it's funny
: A Leopard Can't Change His Spots
You cannot change who you are.
