Do you know an old saying which is simply untrue?

Question

Like "least said, soonest mended." You can't say less than nothing. But if your car breaks down and you say nothing, it will never be mended.

Answer 1

"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer."

BAD advice. REALLY bad advice. It's easier for someone to stab you in the back when they're close than it is when they are far, far away.

Answer 2

Your quoted saying refers to knowing when to keep your mouth shut and has nothing to do with mending physical things other than friendships/relationships etc....in other word...when you are in a hole stop digging...you will have less to regret or explain later..

Answer 3

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush call me thick but i have never understood that saying

Answer 4

There are two familiar sayings,

      "Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

and

     "Out of sight, out of mind."

The trouble is, they contradict each other, so one or both must be wrong.
