Do you have a favourite quote?

[Fentylipgloss]

This is definitely mine!

“No one likes a welcher”

You live by the sword you die by the sword

"You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy."

Don't know if it's my favourite but I heard it recently and I liked it.

Red sky at night, shepherds' delight
Red sky in the morning, your shed's on fire

😂sorry, couldn't resist it

I was very taken by this, Caitlin Moran quoted it in an article yesterday

“The older I get the more I admire and crave competence, just simple competence, in any field from adultery to zoology.”
H.L. Mencken

Don't accept criticism from someone you wouldn't take advice from.

I like ‘when you can’t find motivation, find discipline’

I use it a lot when I cannot drag my sorry carcass out to the gym or for a run. Motivation is chance, discipline is a choice.

@MenaiMna

Amen!

Another good one is ..

'No response, is a response'

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.

George Bernard Shaw

Behind every great man is the cupboard or drawer that his wife needs to get into.

I really like some of these. I will take them on I think!

I've always liked...

All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Edmund Burke

That’s good and I should heed it.
I like it’ll be all right in the end, if it’s not all right, it’s not the end. (I’m Christian)
Fake it til you make it (good for imposter syndrome)
Assume good intent.

"By the time you swear your his, shivering and sighing, and he swears his love for you is infinite and undying, lady remember this - one of you is lying"

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail

Do your best, and when you know better do better

Love many, trust few.
Always paddle your own canoe

Other people's opinion of me is none of my business

Just say no.

Often used as a reference to refusing drugs but I find it works perfectly for just about everything in life that I might not want to do.

‘It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt’

’Never argue with stupid people.They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience’

Mark Twain

I love that quote.

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” — Bill Keane

When preparing the kids for exams its the military "train hard, fight easy" quote we like.

When in doubt, do nowt. Usually applied to overtaking decisions. 🚙

Life's tough but it's even tougher when you are stupid.
