Two New Things I've Heard That Won't Get Out Of My Head

1 = A quote from Sir Philip Sidney:

"Who shoots at the mid-day sun, though he be sure he shall never hit the mark, yet as sure he is he shall shoot higher than who aims but at a bush."

2 = An elderly gentleman's only piece of advice to my sister on her recent hen weekend:

"If you marry your best friend, you can't go wrong."
