"Isn't it ironic, don't you think?"
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

One of my favourite French idioms is:

Vous parlez français comme une vache espagnole!
that's a portuguese saying too. replacing the francais part :p

My favourite saying, which i don't even know is a saying or just something my grandfrther made up, is "que compra rue in pano, compra duas vezes por anno". Which basically means if you buy bad quality to save money you end up buying it more often and thus lose money.

Sort of like "penny wise, pound foolish".
The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane—Marcus Aurelius
