Sayings that you feel are right for life.....

[Pyramid*]

Do any of you have sayings in your life that you 'live by'?

for me, one or two that I think always stand true:

What's meant for you, won't go by you.

What goes around, comes around.

Ben Franklin's, "There's only 3 things in life that are certain: Life, Death and taxes".

:blush:

[joeysteele]

Not a saying as such but I find that this is fairly accurate.

You can do a 1000 things in a day, do 999 right and 1 wrong but its the 1 wrong that will be highlighted and talked about most.

so so true.

that's recalled another from my memory.

If something doesn't look right: there's a 99% chance it isn't right. That's one I've applied most of my adult life, and I have to say, it's fairly accurate in most situations.

Yes,I have heard that before too,it's also usually right too as you say.

Lifes a bitch and then you die.

Positive person me :tongue:

[Rob]

**** happens

It's true though!!! (the saying I mean!!)

[Smithy]

The only certainty in life is death

[MTVN]

Trying is the first step towards failure

[Z]

Never make someone your priority if you are only an option to them.

[_Seth]

Life's a bitch because if it was a slut, it'd be easy.

[Stu]

Ignorance is bliss.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. When you do criticize him you'll be a mile away. And you'll have his shoes.

[Kerry]

One of my Nans - "Heaven/life after death must be good. No bugger ever came back"

My humps, my humps my humps my humps. My lovely lady lumps.

One of my Nans - "Heaven/life after death must be good. No bugger ever came back"

One of my grandfather's was that Heaven must exist, because life felt a lot like hell much of the time.

Everything happens for a reason. D:

Another one that I say often....

[Stu]

I'd love to know 'the reason' for the Japan devestation. Or maybe 'the reason' why a bloke across the road fell of his ladder and sprained his ankle this morning. Or 'the reason' why I just spilled a bit of tea on the carpet.

I hate phrases like that. What's worse is 90% of the airheads I encounter on Facebook seem to automatically believe them. Bloody fairys.

[Shaun]

no stu god has a plan for everyone x

[Niamh.]

Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

[Zippy]

Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

even if you're into S&M? :evilgrin:

[Niamh.]

even if you're into S&M? :evilgrin:

Maybe some of the airheads think that whilst there is a reason for everything - we might not necessarily ever be made aware of why - and sometimes the reason is blatantly obvious.

the reason for Japan was due to natural movements within the deep layers in the planet upon which we live.

the guy who fell off his ladder - because accidents happen.

you spilled tea because you were careless.

[Stu]

Refering of course to those who espouse the statement in the more spiritual sense.

[Niamh.]

oh I like this one as well :

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

[Shaun]

Yeah I can't say I've met someone who means it in the literal sense. That's just acknowledging cause and effect.

[InOne]

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget

Life can only be understood backward but it must be lived forward.

Here's another two sayings that you pair will enjoy I'm sure.....:joker:

"And they say woman are bitter!!"

"and they say woman are bitches"

lol

Yep, Claymores: I've heard your local saying before but I can't really think of any that are relevant round this way (not that spring to mind - am sure there have to be some though!)

[Niamh.]

I like my calendar ones actually, here's todays :

The best way to succeed in life is to act on the advice we give to others.

[Livia]

Trust no one. I find if I follow this advice, I am rarely disappointed.

[Crimson Dynamo]

My father was a bank manager and he lived his life using the saying "never a lender or a borrower be"

He was made redundant and fell into a life of ruin

so be careful

:blush:

this one proved very apt today - and I have to say, it came around (not to me) to someone who I never thought sh!t would stick to - and in came in bucketloads..................... the best part is: in their attempt to be unbelievably malicious - it backfired in the worst possible way

some calendar ones are good. One from years ago I cut out and stuck to my phone - "What a difference there is between what we say, and what we think". I worked in a Customer Liaison Dept - and that was soooooooooooooooo true!!

[Harry!]

Absolutely no regrets. - Madonna

Because once you have done something you can not change the past and will never happern again.

[Niamh.]

calendar saying for the day :

Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions.

That's very true I think

[Captain.Remy]

-Keep it cute, or put it on mute.
-I probably won't go down in History, but I will go down on your sister.
-Sex, Drugs and Rock & ****ing Roll
