Old Sayings…..

We have a poster of old sayings sitting in front of the thrown in our thrown room. Every time you sit down to do your business you can read the poster. I thought you might be interested in a few that I like:

1) Birds of a feather flock together.
2) There is more to life than increasing its speed.
3) No one gets too old to learn a new way of being stupid.
4) It is better to be a has-been than one who never was.
5) We didn’t all come over on the same ship, but we’re all in the same boat.
6) The same wind blows on us all, it’s how you set the sail that counts.
7) Those who can’t remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
8) Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.
9) The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn.
10) To most of us it would be very convenient if God were a rascal.
11) It is difficult to see the picture when you are inside the frame.
12) The dog that trots about finds a bone.
13) He that has but four and spends five, has no need for a purse.
14) The vow that binds too strictly snaps itself.
15) If at first you don’t succeed, you’re running about average.
16) Nothing so needs reforming as other people’s habits.
17) The fellow who is a good sport has to lose to prove it.
18) Easy street is a blind alley.
19) The growth of wisdom can be accurately gauged by the drop in ill temper.
20) Don’t discourage the other man’s plans unless you have better ones to offer.
21) Who lives content with little possesses everything.
22) The man who wants for things to turn up has his eyes fixed on his toes.
23) To approve is more difficult than to admire.
24) Some people pay so much attention to their reputation that they lose their character.
25) It may be those who do most, dream most.

These are just a few that I read on a daily basis. My mom and dad were good with old sayings. A few good ones that I learned from them were:
1) Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
2) What goes around, comes around.
3) One of these days you’re going to have a kid just like you.
4) It’s not the challenges you have in life, but how you handle them that count.

What are some of the “old sayings” you heard growing up?

Bargain of the week: Today while I was out grocery shopping I found Chicken breasts for .69Cents per pound. I purchased 4 packages which had 5 chicken breasts in each pkg. and I paid around $ 3.25 per package. I came home and cleaned and repackaged the chicken for use at a later date and put it in the freezer. Don't forget to check out the sale bin at your grocery store. I wrote a previous post on just how to do this. Check it out here.
