seems in the last few years, i've found myself using them more and more so i requested a book for one gift occasion and favorite daughter (only daughter) supplied! the title is "the facts on file dictionary of CLICHE'S second edition: meanings and origins of thousands of terms and expressions." 2006, by the christine ammer, 1992 trust.
better late than never. let's start with that one since it was the title of my last blog.
pg. 31. a time-honored rationalization for tardiness. it can be traced to greek and latin writers, including the historian livy, and appears in several early english proverb collections. the full proverb is sometimes stated, "better late than never, but better never late." there are versions in numerous other languages as well."
sorta disagrees with what i said doesn't it?

That book sounds like too much fun. A cliche I like is, "Great minds think alike;" I like it even more since I found out the rest of it is, "and fools seldom differ!"
