What Is Your Favourite Saying

mine favourite one is a " Trying is a first step towards failure" by Hmer Simpson and "i didn't lie!!! i was writing fiction with my mouth" also by same yellow guy :)

I like to remind myself and others with " It is a great day to be alive" thanks for the opportunity

when anyone in our family moan ( happens a lot lol ) I always say " no matter how bad you think you are , there is some one out there a lot worse than you "xx

My favorite saying is: Any sufficiently advanced technology is undistinguishable from magic...Any sufficiently advanced magic is undistinguishable from technology. Not sure who first said it but I found it in a book that I was reading. Thought it was a very true statement and liked it. I've used it as a signiture online many times.

My favourite at the moment is "if only closed minds came with closed mouths"

Well, mine is not dissimilar to yours. When something is usless, I say "it's about as useful as a fish on a bicycle" :-)) And if someone is not picking things up very quickly, I admit I say that they are "a few sandwiches short of a picnic hamper"!. Cheers!

My favourite saying is "what goes around, comes around" and I interpret it as if I do good I will get good back and vice versa, this is how I try to live my life. :)

life is like a big canvas, throw all the paint on it that you can.... that is one of my favorites....I have many but that is one of the top ones....

I have never quite understood this saying, it is something that my grandmother used to say when something or someone made her very angry. I found the saying humorous and I continue using it (in her honor!). Here goes: He/She/that makes my a$$ crave hot buttermilk.

My favourite saying is by Michael Pritchard: 'Fear is the little dark room where negatives are developed'

useless sayings: Useful as a screen door in a submarine useful as a rubber crutch lying: He lies like a rug on being stupid: Stupidity should be painful Here's your sign (from one of the redneck comedians, who said when people do stupid things, we should give them a sign that says- I am stupid. on taking yourself to seriously: blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.

Hi Wolfie, I know this is an old post, but just had to answer it my favorite saying is "fill your boots". Usually used when some one wants to do some thing, and is looking for approval or permission. But if you think of it, it has a lot of potential. Enjoy your discussions Robin

When talking about good things I did my Grandad used to say " well she didn't lick it off the ground , did she" meaning that I must have got the talent from somewhere! Usually he took all the credit!

"absolute power corrupts absolutely", this is actually a saying by Lord Acton in 1887 it comes from a letter he wrote to Bishop Mandell Creighton and the full context reads "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men" It's a very acurate observation.

Dum Spiro, Spero. "While I breathe, I hope"

Mine is "Life is a matter of perspective, either you complain because roses have thorns or you rejoice because thorns have roses" :)

my favourite is 'what doesnt kill me makes me stronger' and 'i believe in what i am instead of what sounds good to the rest of the world.' i love the two mottos because they are cool,and i think somebody say it originally must be a brave man/woman.

thats a great one im going to use that! mine at the moment is'you cant make an omlete without breaking eggs 'i think its because i was so 'stuck'for so long

A saying I use quite a lot is 'Every cloud has a Silver lining' or 'it's an ill wind...' I never finish that one though as I am not sure how it goes! I just hope the Silver lining is for me not the cloud! I also use 'C'est la vie!' as it sounds like 'say lavvy' which at a stressful time takes the edge off it a bit.

I have a few. One of mine is I am a chef and when people ask whats good today I like to say it's all Edible. I got that off the new Rocky movie. one that drives me crazy is my kids love to say "it's all good"
