Sometimes its better to be quiet, say nothing, and appear ignorant.

Than open your mouth and prove the fact.

May you be in heaven a fortnight, before the devil knows your dead.

In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

And so the judge said all the money, and shortened it to alimony

I'll never marry again, and if I feel like I want to, ill find a woman I don't like and give her a house
