                          These are some of the most common ones I grew up with. My mom was great for throwing out new sayings all the time:
                          Born on the wrong side of the tracks.
                          He's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
                          Why buy the cow when you can drink the milk for free.
                          The squeaky wheel gets the oil.
                          Loose lips sink ships
                          On a wing and a prayer.
