I saw this the other day and it made me smile. Sometimes old and new sayings are all we need so I thought a topic filled with them would be nice....

Open your eyes to the beauty around you.

Open your mind to the wonders of life.

Open your heart to those that love you and always be true to yourself.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

Calvin Coolidge

Intolerance, career politicians, reality TV and so-called celebrity culture, mobile phones in the quiet carriage.

Hi carb Foods
Here's one for when the people you work with are getting you down.

How can you soar with the eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys.
contrast with:
I may not soar with the eagles, but I don't get sucked into jet engines!
:rolleyes:
only joking!
