True. There are many other things that would fall into this category but remain useful even when repeated. "adages". "proverbs", "aphorisms" "Old Jungle saying " LOL!) "Confucius say.." In Kannada there are dozens of sayings that are called "gaade" (pronounced gaa-they) The saying for being undecided or sitting on the fence is "like a lamp placed on a separating wall" (so each side gets only half the light). Another one that occurs in many Indian languages that means "incorrigible" is that "a dog's tail is always curved". But the one that I like the most and means something similar is "Jo Lahore mein gaandu woh Peshawar mein bhi gaandu, which means the ass-hole in Lahore remains an ass-hole when in Peshawar. A public awareness sign that I saw in Bangalore caught my eye: "Hug your child at home. Belt him in the car" "If you're not with us, you're against us" is another thing that has gained popularity and memorability in recent years. shiv Confucius say, when man 60 marry girl 25, like buying book for someone esle to read.
