Deaf Proverbs

I was in a used bookstore last week and came across a book of Deaf Proverbs. I decided to hang onto it. A few of my favorites are below:


It pays to listen, but it costs nothing to see.


The ingredients of wisdom are open eyes, closed hands, and silent mouth.



It is easier to turn out the lights than stop gossip


Light travels faster and farther than sound.



You can lead a Deafie to a hearing aid, but you cannot make him hear.


The lip is the tip of the iceberg - The Rest is the body.



and my favorite...


Love is Deaf.
