I believe I've always heard the phrase "Two heads are better than one" used with the word "minds" instead. After a quick google search I was surprised to see heads being the most commonly used, with both minds and brains also mentioned. Learn something every day I suppose :]
I also tried minds first. Than I remembered I came across this once before on this site, ages ago, and that it wouldnt accept it then either, this time instead of giving up I remembered it had to be something similar.
It must have been more than 30 years ago that I was reading a book and one of the characters said that it was better to wear out than to rust out. I remember thinking that that’s one of the best mottoes to have about how to live your life. It stuck with me all these years. It’s interesting that in all those years I never heard anyone ever say it and I never read it anywhere else either. I didn’t realize it was even a cliche. I thought it was something the author of the book made up and it was just in that book.
Wow I guess this quiz is tough, I actually got 5 points but I missed 6! (It only happened once or twice before getting 5 points without getting 100% in I think in those case I only missed 1 or 2) Quite proud I figured out the lion one, I had completely no idea. The first part seemed quite logical immediately, it was a matter of figuring out "of a what"
The romance comes in the next verse which is "though that half a sixpence can only mean half a romance".
"Half a sixpence is better than half a romance" makes no sense at all.
