Over the years I have heard many sayings some are well known others are not These are just two of them Apologises if they are not word for word correct “ For evil to succeed all it needs is for good men to do nothing” “ although I disagree with everything you say I will defend to the end your right to say it “ Please add your own favourites they do not have to be well known or by well know people They could just as easily have come from someone unknown except to you But which still strikes a chord with you

Where to start!! There are so many. So here are a couple (or so) of my favourites.
Bachelors know more about women than married men. If they didn't, they'd be married too!
A great many people think they are thinking; when they are really rearranging their prejudices.
And (finally) the best put-down to some argument that you disagree with. It's from "Alice through the looking glass", and it works every time! "If it WAS so, it might be!, and if it WERE so, it would be!...... But as it isn't, it ain't!"" Brilliant!!!!

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
