The Best Sayings Ever

Aim first and whatever you hit, call it the target.

Remember that history was written y the winners!

If work was any good, the rich would have it.

Blessed are those that expect nothing, for they are never disappointed.

@Eagle_Vision: Bacon cannot solve all of your problems. That's what beer is for.

It'll all be the same in a hundred years was a favourite of my mother's and has got me out doing many things - because why bother? (Actually that could be my saying )

Specki - They are going to have a big tidy up tomorrow as we are expecting even more guests (and shoes!) at the weekend!

Never eat yellow snow

(Advice from one of DS' s friends)

Do as ye would be done by.

rosequartz I know precisely what you mean! With my lot its the shoes! Last time I took photos of all the piles of shoes in the hall - that helped because they started taking them up to their rooms! Result!

You will never miss what you give to a friend.

Always pee and puke downwind.

Never squat with your spurs on.

rosequartz, I know it's always meant that way!
And when you're very young of course you believe your Mum!

Specki - we have family staying at the moment, I think I will type that out and hang it in every room!

I always believed my mum as she was so wise - but not on that one Ana! It was always said as a comfort.

Never wrestle with a pig - you will get dirty, and the pig enjoys it.

I think Mark Twain said 'Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig'.

And also of course 'You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear'.

This too shall pass.

Don't put it down, put it away! (Wish I always followed that one!)

My post about 'Sticks and Stones' was totally unrelated to anything 'going on' - just my all-time opinion of that saying.

Oooops. I didn't realise there was anything "going on" with this thread. Just came to it late just like rosequartz

Came to the thread late and obviously things had been deleted and pms sent, thought I may have inadvertently caused more whatever!

Anyway, least said soonest mended as tney say

"If at first you don't succeed..............destroy all evidence that you tried"

Well it works for me.

My grandma always said "nosy couldn't come so they sent....Gillybob"

or whichever child was nosing into an adult conversation, although admittedly mainly, usually always me.

I say it to my DGD 1 who is rapidly becomming a gossip !
