Something a Little Different

I'm simply going to list here interesting sayings for the verbs I'm studying tonight out of the 501 Verbs book. 

-Bien esta lo que bien acaba- All's well that ends well.
-Poco a poco se andas lejos- Little by little, one goes far (all the host families tell us poco a poco when we're trying to talk to them and struggling)
-Cada dia se aprende algo nuevo- You learn something new everyday.
-Comer para vivir y no vivir para comer- Eat to live and not live to eat.
-Comprarte un calvo y peinalo!- Buy a bald man and comb his hair! (Used as "beat it!" apparently haha)
-Cuentaselo a tu abuela!- Tell it to your grandmother! ("I don't believe you!")
-Debo estudiar esta noche pero estoy cansado y no me siento bien- I should study tonight, but I'm tired and don't feel well (I've said this to myself a lot in the last week)
-Gato que duerme no caza ratones- A sleeping cat doesn't catch mice ("You snooze, you lose")
-En boca cerrada no entran moscas- Flies don't enter a closed mouth ("Silence is golden")
-El ejercicio hace al maestro- Practice makes perfect (Clearly it should really be "El ejercicio perfecto hace al maestro" though as Sa bu nim would say)

That's more than enough for tonight I think. I know I can switch the keyboard to international and be able to use the accents and such, but I don't feel like messing with it and figuring out the format just yet. That'll be a thing to learn a different day, learned enough today.
