My browser has a quote thingy for each day and sometimes they are wonderful. I love this one and am going to take it on board. I open my mouth way too often and out comes the wrong thing. :rolleyes:

"A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water." Sidney Goff

Yep.
 
Love it! How about never attribute to malice that which may be attributed to human stupidity.
I used to work in an office and someone on e sent me some spoof inspirational posters. They were wonderful.

I think this clarifies my contribution - no I did not send this to. A parent! image.jpg
 
Here's the quote on my page for today:

"The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat." Lily Tomlin

Yes, I can relate to that, I have known a few of them! :)

Today's is:

"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." Henry Ford

Probably true, small goals are achievable, it's when i only look at the big picture that I panic!
 
i am a fan of sayings, mainly because they are short and easy to read lol but i like the ones that make me think, then smile, this is my current favourite, albert einstein is credited with saying it....

Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid.

That's brilliant Andy. Yep, if I do what I can do and do it as well as I can I will be a success! Well that explains my particular brand of genius then :joyful:
 
This was said to me today about someone who works for me "Only the truly stupid agree to do something before they understand what it is!"
 
Who said anything about good. There are far more negative sayings/quotes to point out failings to try and help others.
 
Here are 2 quotes that seem to go together. The first by Woody Allen and the second by Aristotle some years earlier

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?

The gods too are fond of a joke.
 
For me, a saying will work depending on what stage of my life I am at. Sometimes I really need sympathy and understanding and other times a swift kick up the bum is the only thing that will work. Just lately, it's the kick thing that I have needed :)

"Whatever floats your boat" :happy:
