  1. A girl without money is like a car without wheels.
    If you marry you'll be sorry, if you don't marry you'll be sorry, whether you marry or marry not you'll be sorry.
    Like the knife without the handle a real sharp blade.
    You never miss the water till the well runs dry.
    Those that sing in grief soon find relief.
    Sympathy without relief is like mustard without Beef.
    He that buys land buys stones and he that buys beef buys bones.
