It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.
Plenty more fish in the sea. If you love something let it [hoick!] What's all this cr*p?! Geez. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

When I was about four, my dad would tell me an old saying, and I would say, "It's a new saying to me!"
Here's one I made up at three: You never know, until afterwards.

You know the saying, it's raining cats and dogs? Well, in the 1500s or something like that, the roofs were all thatched, And all the mice, cats, dogs, bugs, and other small animals would live on the roof and keep warm in the hay. When it would rain hard, the hay would get slippery, and the animals like the cats and the dogs would fall off. That's where we get that saying. Isn't that cool? (I thought it was anyway. )
