Say........

Sayings.... Me thinks there's probably not a soul on the planet that doesn't love sayings... Some, we just enjoy reading... Some, we pattern our life after...

One time, back before they ever even had band camps - I was a scrawny, probably less than 100 lb 8th grader who attempted to play football.. The coach, my idol in the day, told me "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." Many times in life I've used this lesson - and I don't neccesarily mean physical stature..

I've shared my mother's advice... "The secret to success in life is how you deal with Plan B." Wow, is that prophetic for all of us.. ceptin' I've just departed "Plan B" wife.. Long ago I departed "Plan B" career.. Still, wise words..

I've got a couple on my wall at work... "Transportation (or whatever you wanna enter here) is like umpiring.. one is expected to start out perfect, then get better."

Next states "The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place, but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment." Glue, that one's been like glue to me.. Before the days of crow's feet, receeding hairline, I really had trouble with that one.. Better now..

If you are still awake here - I'd like to bore you s'more on a few sayings I found on this website... PLEASE: IF YOU HAVE A FAVORITE OR YOUR OWN, OR FAVORITES - PLEASE SHARE. Deal?
