Your favorite sayings

[davey]

Have you guys got any favorite sayings (proverbs famous quotes etc) that you love?

My Mum read heaps and was always coming out with classic sayings and it wasn't until we started school that we realised she hadn't actually written them.

The number one for Mum and I which I have posted before-

‘The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it’
-- Omar Khayyam

Others I like include-

‘Poor and content is rich---------and rich enough’. (Shakespere)

‘A person who never made a mistake---- never tried anything new.’ (Einstein)

‘Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy’. (Ben Franklin)

‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter’. (Martin Luther King)

‘One man by himself is nothing. Two people who belong together make a world’. (Hans Margolius)
