oh I like this one as well :

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

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

"We die only once, and for such a long time" - Molière

"The oldest, shortest words —"yes" and "no"— are those which require the most thought." - Pythagoras

"The fool has one great advantage over a man of sense — he is always satisfied with himself." - Napoleon

"single fish" when you require to wake @ 5am and need a Fife rhyming slang for needing a pee

"we're aw jock Tamson's bairns" - google that Pyramid.. do you have any silly from your area/backgroand

You live by that do you? :D

Yes I'm old kerster and sometimes need a pish @ 5am:joker: It will come to you eventually!

Mine is quite similar, "Life's a Bitch, Then you Marry one, Then you die"

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

My Argentinian wee friend knows "single fish" when we talk live chat and she needs a pee - now you know Fife speak!!!!!

That sounds complicated Joe!

"life's a bitch then you have to live with one"

Hard to stick to too!!

Marrried is for ***** - avoid that crapoola Ice - waste of money :-) Go to Spa instead!

I like the saying that's on my calendar for today as well :

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!)

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.

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

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

lol, where have you been hiding Mr.Trumpet?:hugesmile:

Got sent down but out now. :devil:

Those bastards!:bawling:

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!!

Absolutely no regrets. - Madonna

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