Never go to bed on an argument or with dishes in the sink.

You never know what a person's life is like behind closed doors, so envy no one and be proud of what you have.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

As I’ve got older, I can see the order to things, where shot things have happened but later can see good things have come out of it as a result.

Mine is : shake up and move on.
My 93 uncle's was: Go bold, tread lightly and never say it can't be done.

You cant prevent what you cant predict
& if you dont have anything good to say then dont say anything at all
Patience is a virtue!

What's the worst that could happen?!

KrabbyPattie · 19/04/2020 00:23

Expect the worst and things can only be better. Has seen me through many years!

It's usually better to do anything, however ineptly, than to do nothing at all.

PhilCornwall1 · 19/04/2020 00:36

Mine is "Don't get mad, get even".

If someone wrongs me in any way, I'll not let them see me get angry, but I will get even, when they least expect it.
