Sweet Land of Liberty, N.C. Wyeth

BLOOD is thicker than water.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

A leopard cannot change its spots.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Bloom where you are planted.

You aren’t required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.

The same law for both the lion and ox is oppression.

Good fences make good neighbors.

Like Father, like son.

An ounce of blood is worth more than a pound of friendship.
