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

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:

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:

shit happens

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

The only certainty in life is death

Trying is the first step towards failure

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

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

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.

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

:laugh2:

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

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....

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.

no stu god has a plan for everyone x

Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

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

especially then:wink:

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.

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

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!
