Favourite sayings

eh saying, quotes... same shit..

You can detect right away those that are going to be shaky, and that will fall behind and those that are very hungry, and that hunger you will have to develop. You gotta create a goal for yourself whatever that may be, a short term goal and a long term goal and you gotta go after that. And if you don’t see it, and if you don’t believe it, who else will?
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.
Marie Curie

To be defeated and not submit, is victory; to be victorious and rest on one's laurels, is defeat.
Józef Piłsudski

I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.

A favorite of mine....

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville

I heard one today that I want to change slightly(you were born original don't die a copy)
I prefer to say"we are born a copy,it's up to you to be a true original"

These are the ones I can think of just now. I have very colorful linguistic roots, what with a Southern father and having been raised around, and to a certain extent by, three black church women who worked in my parent's home.

• I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.
• You can't get blood from a turnip.
• If frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their ass when they land.
• Useless as tits on a bull.
• Sure as God made little, green apples...
• One of them's lying, and the other's swearing to it.
• Sleep with dogs, and you'll wake with fleas.
• That dog won't hunt.
• Oh, my stars and garters.
• ...Going slower than molasses trying to run uphill in January.
• ...doesn't have two nickels to rub together.
• ...on you/him like stink on a skunk.
• Even a skunk knows he stinks.
• ...wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire.
• ...doesn't have the sense she was born with.
• ...doesn't have the sense God gave a goose.
• ...she put the "e" in ig-nernt.
• Monkey -- used as a verb to me "mess with" as in "Don't monkey with it or you'll make it worse."
• ...waiting 'til the cows come home.
• ...waiting 'til Gabriel blows his horn.
• ...more useful that a shirt pocket.
• Sweating like a whore in church.
• Madder than a mule biting on bumblebees.
• ...ugly enough to stop a clock.
• Get while the gettin's good.
• More [whatever] than you can shake a stick at.
• You can't take me snipe huntin' more than once.
• Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
• When St. Peter was passin' out brains, she thought he said "trains" and asked for a slow one. ("Brains. Brains....thought he trains, so you asked for a slow one, didn't ya?" -- Variation used with my kids once they knew the full story. Sometimes shortened to just "Brains, brains.")
• ...knee high to a bee
• ...tall enough to hunt ducks with a garden rake.
• ...looking more scared than deviled eggs after a church picnic.
• You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion.

All the best.

My favorite sayings involve graveyards. They sum up life perfectly to me.

"These grounds are full of indispensable men".

and

"As you are now, so once was I, As I am now, you soon shall be".

LOVE IT

My pops is a funny guy as he's lived in Canada for 40 years and has a thick Greek accent still. Best part is that he picks things up off tv shows or movies and incorporates them into conversation.

This is him warning me about ugly women when I went off to university...

Dionysus: Peter you see the woman there?

Peter: Yes Ba.

Dionysus: She have nice body, but face look like got hit with bag of hot nickels. Don't bring girl home with nickel face.

Peter: Yes Ba.

A bag of hot nickels. I'll never forget it.
