Do you have a favourite saying or quote

do on to others as others do on to you.

my favorite saying is:
"roof's burnt down, now i can see the sky." i don't know who said this but i got the magnet at "whole foods" in ann arbor, mi.
it talks about freedom and clarity after disaster has struck.

Mine is one I have used for years "just remember I'm an old lady, so be nice to me". Alas, it doesn't work but brain is too tired to think of another one. :)

Yes - "Timshal".
It's a Hebrew word to be found in the book of Genesis. it is discussed at great length in the fabulous book, East of Eden by John Steinbeck.
I know it's not a saying, but it has terrific implications.

Don't settle for the one you can live with, wait for the one you can't live without.

'Words destroy the functions of love'. It's from a Stephen King short story, and those words have stuck with me ever since I read them. And I beleive it's true. Words give things limits, constrains them, forces them unto boundaries. Words are used so often that the trivialize things, especially love. It's actions that prove emotions, not words.

My favorite is:
Intelligent people talk about ideas. Rich or common people talk about things. Low people talk about others.

Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone!

It is not alway easy to...
apologize
begin over
take advice
be unselfish
keep trying
be considerate
think and then act
profit by mistakes
forgive and forget
...but is usually pays.

-Richard Hamilton

My favorite saying is something I created myself in one of my stories. Most people have heard the saying when pigs fly. My saying is when the grass turns pink. For example, I'll keep writing until the grass turns pink. Or, when the grass turns pink I'll still be there for my friends. In my story one character agrees with another. Then a third character asked if the grass turned pink.
