METAPHOR'S or CLICHE'S? you decide

A picture is worth a thousand words
(note: a great many originate in scripture)

HEALTH:
Laughter is the best medicine
Count your blessings
Keep a stiff upper lip
Pull up your socks
Life is short, then you die
Jumping for joy
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Don’t cry over spilled milk
Monday blues
Walk in anothers’ shoes
Better safe than sorry
Bounce back
It makes my blood boil

ADVISORY;

Keep your shirt on!
Look before you leap
Seek and you will find
Go the extra mile
Drink from your own well
Don’t take any wooden nickels
Mark my words
Leave your comfort zone
Dance like no one is watching
What goes around, comes around
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours
Don’t rain on my parade
The truth will make you free
Charge it to my account

Don’t get your nickers twisted
Don’t count on it
Look at the bright side

Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Choose wisely
Keep it simple stupid (kiss)
Don’t count your chickens before their hatched
Put that in your pipe and smoke it
Get behind me
Call a spade; a spade
Choose your poison
Give it your all
Search your heart
Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill

COLLOQUIAL;

a one trick pony

Necesity is the mother of invention
can’t change stripes, or spots
Rich get richer, poor get poorer
When the going gets tough, the tough get going
He wears many hats
Time is money
Hope springs eternal
Food for thought
Your loss is my gain
Its in the mail
The writing on the wall
Time well spent
It never rains, but it pours
Into every life a little rain must fall
The first step is a lulu
Ignorance is bliss
Every cloud has a silver lining
Light at the end of the tunnel
We all make mistakes
Better late than never
A horse of a different color
That’s you all over again
Swimming in debt
Hit it out of the park
A ton of bricks
From here to eternity
One step at a time
Call it a day
Experience is the best teacher
A fool for a client
There are liars, damn liars, then statistics
If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you
Reaching out
Going astray
Barking up the wrong tree
Harping on it
Core values
Butting heads
A bastion of truth (or love etc)
Opposite poles
Intestinal fortitude
Up and coming
Won the battle, but lost the war
Head knowledge
Casting a shadow
A house of cards
A stacked deck
Age is beauty
Bargain basement price
A fool and his money will soon part company
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Life is a bowl of cherries
Life in the fast lane
Sealed with a kiss
Marching to a different drummer
heart to heart
