The Best Sayings Ever

I've always rather liked "If you can't find something nice to say...........
Say something devastating"

Lazy people work hardest!

(So true - from your chair, try throwing something into a wastepaper basket, hit it and knock it over - contents all over the place . . . . . )

Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

Real women don't have hot flushes, they have power surges

Ana it means lots of small amounts make a large amount - a bit like 'look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves'.
How about 'his coat's hingin' on a shoogly peg*?

My gran's: it's a long road that has no turning.

where there's muck there's brass ....... Persil washes whiter.
[I'll get me coat.]

Many a mickle makes a muckle (no idea what it means, though...!)

Yes, good sayings, especially the "do as you would be done by", I would very much go along with that!

Quotes of course are a completely different thing. Perhaps another thread for those? (Some excellent ones by Oscar Wilde & Winston Churchill come to mind)

tiggy my mother's favourite saying..'you won't go far wrong in life if you do as you would be done by'

Something that I said to DH this morning [which he wasn't best pleased by] when he asked if I was going to share some of the digging in the garden, 'Don't keep a dog and bark yourself!' The digging is all his dept.

Oh yes, and also We all eat a peck of earth before we die!

God pays debts without money! My MiL's pet saying

Do as you would be done by.
My Nana used to say that to us 4 kids rather a lot !

My Mum used to say 'Waste not want not - clearly means buy a Ford'. . I think it was something to do with an advert up on hoardings before WW2 - but I still say it and haven't got a scooby what it means really!

nina!

Er, least said soonest mended

An ounce of help, is worth more than lb of pity !

And some fell on stony ground.

"Doing nothing is very hard to do.....You never know when you're finished."

Thank you phoenix

The smallest good deed is better than the best good intention.

Dare to be a Daniel.

And with regard to your second one, here's another phrase for you

"A day late and a dollar short"

Goodnight.

Well, TAB12 what a lovely PM that was!

Okey dokey.
