Short and unoriginal

This posting is exactly what the title says it is, short and mostly not mine.

I have found that many countrys have their own wise sayings, with America's sorely lacking depth. So, I have compiled a collection of them here for all to enjoy.

Proverbs 23:7
--------------------

If every tear I’ve shed for you was worth its weight in gold,
Then I would buy the world for you, and give to you to hold.

You’d hold the earth in your arms and warm it with your smile,
And every tear I’ve shed for you, each would be worthwhile.
