Pernese Proverbs

[Hope]

Does anyone have any Pernese proverbs, from the books, fandom, or personal? I'd like to start a collection, if we could.

Ones I've heard or used:

Speak of Thread, and it will burrow.

Greens' eggs and wishes will bring you no riches.

If you bring together a harper, a merchant, and a wine-seller, there will be a Gather even if the sea has to part to make a dance floor.

[Hope]

If we expand it to jokes--what's the difference between bronzeriders, itchweed, and tunnelsnakes?

Itchweed can be avoided, and you can reason with a tunnel snake.

[Suki]

If we're going to pick on bronzeriders...

Q. How are bronzeriders, red thorn needles, and sticker burrs alike?

A. They can really get under your skin.

[Suki]

Or -

Q. Why do bronzeriders ride the biggest male dragons?

A. Because they need a dragon that's big enough to carry both them *and* their egos.

[Deb]

Oh those are good!

[Hope]

A couple more:

Don't count your wherries 'til they hatch.

Not the brightest glow in the basket.

Watch your marks, or you'll become one.
