Bonmots, proverbs, what have you...
I think it's always nice to know some, even if you really don't necessarily come across as a good conversationalist using them (but maybe that's cause I mostly use them to shut people up).
Post some faves!

Here we go (free german lessons included):
Betroffene Hunde bellen.
= Affected dogs bark. Denying or refuting general statements cause you take them personal.

It takes one to know one. Does it really? Does it matter?

One of my personal favourites is:

"Kind words butter no parsnips"

My dad says it all the time.
