Big grin Pretentious Proverbs!
Ok gang, found these in a book while in London... I'll give you the pretentious proverb and you tell me how we usually say it. Ready? good!

"A person experiencing a sudden drop from a relatively erect to a less erect position, should entertain the possibility that their inflated self-image is unendorsed by the general consensus"

If you don't understand, you will once someone gets this first one. Anyone?

Mayor

This is not right but I could not resist saying it-
If you are no longer head and shoulders above the masses, be aware they may be trying to trample you.

Wow... I am surprised that no one has gotten this. The answer is...

Pride goes before a fall

Yup, that's it! Here's another...

-------------------------------------

The absence of sound, or the condition or quality of being or keeping silent, is as gratifying as a soft, yellow, corrosion-resistant, malleable and ductile trivalent element.
