Ang mga ito lang ang naisipan ko. Ang dami ko nang nakalimutan hehe. Sige na, subukan mong maala-ala. Marami pa sigurong nakatagong kasabihan sa isip mo na 'di mo lang narinig o nagamit sa matagal na panahon.

(These are the only ones I thought of. I have forgotten a lot. Go ahead, try to remember. Perhaps there are lots of hidden proverbs in your mind which you have not heard or used in a long time.)

Thanks for correcting my error about the saying "When in Rome....." I always believed it was in the Bible because I've heard it all my life to be so. Now I know better. Some internet sources say that this saying is originated by St. Ambrose.
