la madre degli imbecili

La madre degli imbecili è sempre incinta.

"The mother of imbeciles is always pregnant." The idea here is that there's no short supply if idiots in the world.

Grammatically this Italian proverb is a good reminder of the agreement between nouns and adjectives - "madre incinta." The adjective ends in "a" because it refers to the feminine singular noun "madre." C4N!
