lronitulstahp -> Update that Saying (6/20/2009 1:00:40 PM)

A post on another thread contained this saying:
quote:

the pen can be mightier then the sword
And it caused me to ponder...how many of my favorite old sayings are slightly out-of-date and need some updating? There are a few stand-by's from childhood that i utter every now and then, only to realize few people born after 1978 seem to know what the heck i am saying.

So for example the above quoted phrase might be updated as such:
"The keystroke is mightier than the long-range nuclear missile"
Do any of you have some revered saying that's reached it's expiration date, and might need some new life?
Let's have at it......

Blindness and foolishness are the same to a smitten heart, but it takes love and time to tell them apart.

Any job worth doing, is a job worth doing poorly so you can ask for a bailout.

I think the above just need to be read again I don't think that they are outdated I think the People have forgotten what it is to really have to work for something.
