The Best Sayings Ever

phoenix you are not boring [though you are a pedant.... I started a quotes thread earlier just for you [so you have to post on it now!]

A quote is something that a person 'said' either a real person or one in literature. A saying is usually non-attributable. Just saying!

Anyway wasn't it " I am not afraid, I am very angry"?

I WANT A CINNAMON WHIRL!
I want, never gets. [My Mother said this all the time, very irritating.]
Then want must be your master. [Victorian saying, equally irritating I should think.]

Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby is a character in The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley. It's the 'ethic of reciprocity' or the golden rule.

A person who smiles in the face of adversity...probably has a
scapegoat.

And Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby has a counterpart - Mrs Bedonebyasyoudid.

I think it's DH's as well!

I wish it was my youngest granddaughter's. She's always on the go. She says, "I'm bored, what can I do?" Anything you suggest is always boring unless it's something you will do with her. I tell her that a six year old is not allowed to be bored, there's too much to learn in her life, but she does not believe me.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

When you wake up in the morning, smile... get it over with... WC Fields

Aim Low, Reach Your Goals, Avoid Disappointment.

There are some crackers here!

TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.

If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.

If all else fails, lower your standards

If you want something doing, ask a busy woman!

If at first you don't succeed.......pretend you never tried!

Phoenix - always remember that 'sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me'

(One from my mum)

I know that saying is well-meaning, rosequartz - but it just isn't true! Words can and do hurt us - very much so on occasion.
