So my last post has me thinking. Everybody has a favorite saying, but what is it, and why is it the favorite. Some sayings are deep and profound like the one that Carol let out a while back. I think it went something like this....
I know things could always be worse, blah, blah, blah, but I go home to my crap and you go home to yours.
Scott Jacobs seems to like the direct approach of "Life sucks, and then you die!"
While Cherise is into funny with ," sometimes I listen to you and all I hear is Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit!" -My friend Gordon talking to his wife.
Then you have the noble notable people who have truly inspirational sayings like.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life Winston Churchill
So Let's hear it, what is the best saying and why.

This has made me think way too deeply this morning and opened up a discussion in my office on what the best saying is. Besides my personal quote above, I would have to say I like this one (not that it is the best saying, but I like it):
ReplyDelete“The eyes are the window to the soul.”
I think most people's eyes tell us about their feelings of the moment--like wearing your emotions on your sleeve. When you look at the eyes of cold-hearted criminals, there is nothing to see but a black void. Children's eyes usually show the sweetness and innocence of their souls.
I think I may have to write more on my own blog about this. I'll be linking people over here.
I still like the one that Grandma Mecham would always say. "I can't is a quitter, too lazy to try." I say this to myself all the time when I think I don't have the energy or the motivation to get things done.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Steph and like those we learn from our ancestors, those with a personal touch, hence, my mom's, who heard it from her aunt Em, "Always wear clean underwear." Then I have my own I try to live by, "To each his own but leave me alone." (there's a story behind this one)
ReplyDeleteI would have to say mine is "You just gotta make it happen"! My brother in law said that to us before we moved to California. We told him that we didn't think we could afford a home in California. He said, "sure you can, you just gotta make it happen!"
ReplyDeleteI like that one Alli!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late on this one. I think the best one is,Some days you're the pigeon. Some days you're the statue.
ReplyDeleteI thought of another one that my niece started and I use it, too: "But, I'm not bitter." This is usually said sarcastically at the end of a whiny complaint about something that was done to us in the past. Example: My husband spent almost every night at the church and I had to watch the kids by myself all the time when they were growing up. But, I'm not bitter. *This is my sister's famous family sentence.
