Musing on proverbs

A friend in need is a friend indeed
But where are the friends who pay real heed

A thing of beauty is joy forever
But beauty is not eternal however

A good beginning makes a good ending
I began well but my struggle is unending

A person is known by the company he keeps
But if the company kicks the person weeps

A picture paints a thousand words
But seeing this picture I am out of words

A problem shared is a problem halved
I have lot of problems but no one to share

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
But if a doctor eats apple, what will you say

Don't cross the bridge till you come to it
But how can I cross without coming to it

God helps those who help themselves
But if we can help over selves, why do we need god’s help

Good talk saves the food
I will talk to my guests saving the food

It takes a thief to catch a thief
If you have caught one, where are you stealing next?

It's never too late
So I will come a little late


Necessity is the mother of invention
If so, who is the father?

Only fools and horses work
I am neither so I won’t work

Talk is cheap
Then why is my phone bill so high?

The Devil finds work for idle hands to do
My boss gives work always, is he a devil too?


There's no such thing as a free lunch
So from now onwards don’t ask for treats

When the cat's away the mice will play
If the cat comes back, it will be mice’s last day

You can't get blood out of a stone
But if you use that stone, you will get blood

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar
And if you are so free, come to my home as well and catch some
