The pestle handle I took hold of in the past (Skills you learn as a young man don't wane as you grow older)

A sword returns to its sheath (To kiss and make up)

Carelessness is the greatest enemy (Danger comes when you least expect it)

The seed of pleasure is pain; the seed of pain is pleasure (No pain, no gain)

Fortune enters by a merry gate

P.S. Bonus points to whoever can figure out the significance of the title for this post.

Proverbs 8:8 (NIV). I didn't spend 16 years in a private religious school system and not learn to recognize a Bible version when I see one... :-)
Ding ding ding! Give that man a prize. I figure Proverbs 8:8 was a pretty good reference for a set of 8x8 proverbs. Your prize is, um, to get 7 links to your blog pages on my front page. ;)
LOL! Nice. Watch that Google page rank soar! But I think you've already linked to PPB that many times in the last month or so, thanks to Izzo.
(And I meant "verse," though "version" isn't entirely inaccurate -- I did identify the New International Version, after all. Heh heh.)
