One of my favourite sayings.

to return to the first saying, watches are on the way out-apparently!

And "Keep your tents separate and your hearts together".

I like "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof".

Something along the lines of "it is better to remain silent and risk others thinking you are a fool, than to speak and leave them in no doubt"

Grossi - from the same author, I think - the Peter's Principle. People rise to their level of incompetence. So all CEO's are probably unfitted for the job!

I like "housework expands to fit the time available to do it"!

Perhaps he panicked - I have been known to forget well-known words in stressful situations.

On the wearing your learning lightly point, I wonder if David Cameron pretended he didn't know what magna carta meant on David Letterman last night.

He must have done at least four years of latin at his kind of schools and they're not exactly difficult words.

So we have to believe either that he is a bit thick and has a dodgy memory, or that he is a fibber?

I had to look up GIFs - still not sure I understand what they are!

I like 'Before you do unto others make sure they want to be done unto the same way that you do'. Not pithy, but true!

I've updated an old one.

Beware Geeks sharing GIFs.

Nit Picker !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL

Oh I don't know Nonu. It's no good pushing a door that will open only when pulled.

Absentgrana, I believe that when one door shuts another one opens , all you have to do is push it

Being nice to people is a really good idea

fine words ,but they butter no parsnips

the harder I work the luckier I become

Remenber the rainbows, forget the thunderstorms

Ageing can be engaging

What doesn"t kill you you makes you stronger

We"re for a good time , not a long time

Don"t stop doing things just because you"re older

Money isn"t everything , but it rates up there with oxygen

Never a dull moment

JO4 ...I don't see how my joke was offensive. I didn't call anyone daft or suggest they only had half a brain as you did.

I think you are seeing things in my posts which are not there. If I choose at some time in the future to offend someone I will make sure that the person involved knows they are meant to be offended and others know it is not aimed at them.

My father used to say when one door closes another one shuts.

Ariadne !

ana or -"would some gift to others gie, to see myself as I see me."!

matson is that your favourite saying, or were you giving advice there?

"O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!"

Robbie Burns - and my absolute favourite!

Had to search a bit to find the Scots version - I just think it sounds so much better than the English 'translation'!

Nicer way of putting it than "If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing, full-stop".

Innit?

My dad used to say "If a thing's worth doing it's worth doing badly". I always liked that.

J I've never heard of that saying before. I really like it.

turn the other cheek !
