I love one I saw today, I have two new motto's now.. 1. You cant stop the waves but you can learn how to surf 2. Sarcasm. because beating the shit out of someone is illegal!!! (my dry wit loves this)
-“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” Dr Suess
capn, Similar and an old favorite (Cuz coming form my pseudo husband, lol, Jon Bon Jovi) "courage is getting knocked out 9 times and getting up for the 10th" or something like that
"Your chickens will come home to roost", I believe this is from Chaucer. Meaning all your deeds will come back to you, both good and bad.
Also, my Irish husband has one I like. "No good deed goes unpunished". Don't know if that is Irish or not but funny anyway.
And one of my favorites, "When someone tells you who they really are believe them the first time." Maya Angelou (I think I spelled that right). Anyway that one is one to live by.
Best advice was "All those people that make you angry, because they never offer to help, you may as well get used to it, because they're never going to change, they're never going to help, because it's just who they are!!!'
Jujubean-I have had my posts changed-usually for typos. Or links. Funny about the typos . Once a post of mine was all rearranged--but I had put a link in but they didn't just take the link out they kinda made my post more efficient. --whatever. It is their site, I guess. :0)
Another quote I like--- "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"-Gandhi
hmmm...somewhere here someone rewrote my question...that is interesting, that is not the way I wrote it?? very close but It has been changed! interesting, very interesting..Hmmm.... so there is AC police in the computer???
I like my dad's --' that went over like a lead fart" ---I think he meant to say "that went over like a lead balloon OR "that went over like a fart in church" but combined them. Now my husband and I say it 'his way" haha
There is also his "I know you like a glove" -said to my Mom during a heated argument years ago. (I know you like the back of my hand + fits like a glove)
We are not sure if he is doing this on purpose or just gets confused.
For my girl we often say (OFTEN!!!)--"It's different ---but that's OK." when we are doing something that is not in her normal routine. And , when we are going to run errands I say we are going on a "slow adventure" which means we do not need to rush or worry just relax and take it easy (she has anxiety) Not really quotes, per se but we say them soften that they have become kinda oour mantra. Those and --'It's in God's Hands" --for when she is worrying (OFTEN) about things we cannot control.
