Old Adages - Still in Vogue?

By AmirFaizi

Do we still use and is it still helpful in these days:

a. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise

b. An Apple a day, keeps the doctor away

c. Actions speak louder than words

etc....etc....!!!!

Some still apply. Others need changing.

For example, After Iraq and now with Libya, the adage should be : The bigger they are, the harder they hit you.

The first one will always live forever.Same is the case with the 2nd one but i would include including greens in the diet everyday will definately keep you in good health inshaALLAH.In some situations,yes this is essential unless a person wants to express himself/herself verbally.

a. Still in vogue and will remain so for ever. Healthy and wise for sure. And if one is healthy and wise why can't he be wealthy.

b. No more, eat as many apples but until you stop junk you can not keep doctors away for long. (Doctors! pardon me but why do you become someone whom everybody wants to keep away? ;))

c. It still does, but only for sports persons,wrestlers and sumos. Politicians are excluded.
