This is an old saying I used to hear a lot from southern folks.
"You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear."
I know a sow is an adult female pig. I think a silk purse back in the day was valuable and classy. So I guess the saying means you can't make something or someone classy if you do not have the essential raw material from the start. Or, you cannot make something great out of just anything.
Close enough? Any ideas?
Enjoy your weekend!
