If you don't use your head, you'll use your feet.

Seems I do that a lot more lately! "Now what did I come in here to get"--and I'll remember when I've left the room!

A good friend said she always was thinking of the 'here after' 'cause everytime she went into another room, she would think, 'now what I did I come here after?'

Don't count your chickens until they hatch. A fool and his money are soon parted. Money's burning a hole in your pocket. A penny for your thoughts. Better to try and fail, than never try at all. All you have to fear, is fear itself.

I keep hearing my Grandmother's voice in my head saying all her wise wisdom sayings which were never ending in my childhood. Loved her to the moon and back. In her lifetime, she walked or rode in buggy and saw man on the moon. What changes will our children's children see in life? Seize the moment and live today, plan for tomorrow and the future will be bright. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is the future, and today is the present or a 'gift', so enjoy today and make it a good one.

My Mom would always say "don't do something half-a##ed" and would say that if you are "down" it's because you aren't busy enough.

My mentoring teacher said that only boring people are bored--the rest find something to do! and she'd tell her teen daughter that "only uneducated people use vulgar language--the rest of us can get the same point across with better vocabulary"

Everything is easy once you know how.

My favorite Aunt told me the only thing we can count on is change. So true.............

A favorite expression of mine is that only lazy people use curse words; I used to tell my students that Churchill was a master at turning people's words on themselves. I also used to tell them that , if you were smart, you could call anyone a "low-down son of a sea biscuit" and walk away with all your teeth, because most folks would not know exactly what you meant.

My Mom, (Who is likely reading this.), often says, "A blind man would be happy to see it." when I am nervous about how a quilt is turning out.

Not sure that's helping my nerves, Mom. :D

Watson

During summer vacation,you never complained to Mom about having nothing to do.

Her stock reply “I will find you something to do”.......meaning work. She was smart,
it only took once & she didn’t hear that complaint again.:)

Another one -

"it will all come out in the wash - - - hogwash!"

My grandmother's, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" would work in quilting, too.
