Proverbs- what they REALLY mean

What they say...
A rolling stone gathers no moss
What they mean...
A rolling stone is too busy rolling to be able to pay attention to doing silly things like gathering moss (ugh)

What they say...
Too many cooks spoil the broth
What they mean...
Because they were concentrating on sauteed vegetables, broiled chicken and spaghetti instead of the broth

What they say...
All that glitters is not gold
What they mean...
Don't forget there are gorgeous diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds and the pope's shiny bald pate.

What they say...
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
What they mean...
And the mind forget
