Wise old sayings that aren't true...

"There's no such thing as a dumb question."

According to the scriptures, there is.
Eccleciates 7.10 Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such questions.
1 Cor. 15.35-36 But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.



"Time is money."

No it isn't.



"Time heals all wounds."

No it doesn't.



"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."

Yes they will.



"If you don't have your health, you don't have anything."

If you have treasure laid up in heaven, your health or lack thereof becomes irrelevant.



"Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Jesus says put all your eggs in his basket. Matt. 6.33



"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Jesus tells us to give up the bird in our hand, our physical lives and along with its desires, for the promise of eternal life.




"If you try to please everyone, you'll end up pleasing no one."
or the very similar "The quickest way to please no one is trying to please everyone."

1 Cor. 10.33 ... even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good, but the good of many, so that they may be saved.

I'll update this as I think of others
