Bon Mots

If it ain’t broke

No point in living if you have no purpose....I have lots of purposes, for instance, I'm just about to go pick up my grandchildren from school.

I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.

Hard work spotlights the character of people:

some turn up their sleeves,
some turn up their noses,
and some don't turn up at all.

Find out what you don't do well,

then don't do it.

Challenges are what make life interesting;

Overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.

Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.

Qui rira bien, qui rira le dernier (as the title is in French after all)

It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.

Dr Johnson

Obviously the above does not apply to scammy phone calls!

There are some great ones here. I particularly like Rufus's:

Find out what you don't do well,

then don't do it.

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

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

"When you come to the end of your rope tie a knot and hang on."
FDR

Qui rira bien, qui rira le dernier

jura2;
"Merveilleux; si vrai à la vie!"

Next time I might try Welsh just to test you!
"Pwy fydd yn chwerthin yn dda, pwy fydd yn chwerthin yn ola"

Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.

"Everybody makes mistakes.
Mistakes are proof that you're trying."
