Thanks. Anything wrong with my examples? BMO | For the second one, try: - Statistics shows couples that tied the knot in church stay together longer and are less likely to divorce.
Re: - There's a silver lining behind every cloud.
Meaning: some good can be found in every situation, no matter what.
Re: - You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar.
Meaning: you are more likely to be able to get somebody to do what you want if you "sweet talk" them than if you threaten them or otherwise make negative remarks.
