Thread: Favorite sayings about life? Please contribute.

  1. Not sure if this hasn't already been posted. When I heard it the author was identified as Henry Ford (don't know if it's true). Regardless,

    "If you think you can or you think you can't, you're probably right."

    Whenever I think of a new project and start to get a bit unsure of myself I remember this. After that I know I can do it!

    Sorry if these are a repeats, I didn't have the time to look through ALL the sayings...

    Don't worry about the things in life you can't control...you can't control them. And don't worry about the things in life that you have control over...you can control them.

    You need that (WHATEVER I wanted at the time) like you need a hole in the head! (My Pop)
    I drink, therefore I am.

  7. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

    Some people, when alone, are in good company and others are not.

    It's a dog eat dog world and I'm wearing Milkbone underwear.

    "How's life treating you, Norm?"

    Like it caught me sleeping with its wife
    Like a baby treats a diaper

    From my Mom: Because I said so.

    From my Dad: If you can't finish it, don't start it.

    From my Grandpa: You gotta maka da money before you spend it.

    From my daughter: I can't wait until I am older because then I can have the remote. (She is 19 and still says this.)

    From life: Be careful what you wish for.
    If it went up, it will come down, don't stand under it and wait.
    Nothing tastes like chicken except chicken.
    If it hurts, don't do it.

    I can' believe I forgot this one:

    After yelling out "OW, I can't believe I did that again!", the reply coming from the other room:

    "It must not have hurt enough the first time." From my old boss, a Master Craftsman.
    I drink, therefore I am.

    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night

    Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

    That’s good enough.

    No matter how much you rub, you can’t put a shine on a turd.
