This is a collection of very famous sayings in the English language that most native English speakers know and use in everyday conversations. These sayings may be quoted from some literary works (plays, books, novels, poems) or taken from movies, or some may be attributed to famous figures throughout history. These sayings can be used in conversations by mentioning them in full or quoting a part of them. These sayings are so well-known that a long saying may be referred to by mentioning only the first part because the recipient is often aware of the remaining part. When you learn these sayings, you will notice that they are commonly used in various contexts. A variation of these sayings may be made and used for humor, as the recipient is often aware of the original saying and its modified version. These sayings can be used for jokes when the saying is referenced in a context where it does not apply at all.
